#JackedKirby - Mister Miracle Monday’s with Dr. Bedlam!!!! 💥💥💥 It’s Monday.... that means it’s time for some Mister Miracle!!!! Today we are gonna visit a unique villain from Scott Free’s rouges gallery... Dr. Bedlam!!!! 💥💥💥 Dr. Bedlam pops up in the pages of #Issue3 of the Mister Miracle series (published in August of 1971) on a page that utilizes a traditional 6 panel grid... Kirby utilizes this standard layout to illustrate a “transformation” as Bedlam materializes.... it reminds me a lot of the werewolf transformation from the classic Lon Cheney Universal movie (and most other Werewolf movies since) as he slowly begins to take shape... 💥💥💥 Kirby opens the next page with half page splash that conveys the character in all his glory... the large head and ominous eye brows of Bedlam convey a feeling of dread and despair in just one panel.... but the coolest thing is that this isn’t even Bedlam’s real flesh and blood body at all... it’s a robot clone!!! 💥💥💥 Bedlam is a form of energy consciousness that can occupy or “possess” these clone bodies whenever he wants. The consciousness occupies these clone robots and can control up to six of them at a time. They are essentially quite similar in spirit to the “Life Model Decoys” Kirby made famous in the pages of his Nick Fury S.H.I.E.L.D. stories for Marvel in the 60s!!!! 💥💥💥 He is a brilliant scientist who has utilized his amazing intellect to become one of Darkseid’s top agents of chaos... and in this issue he develops the “panic pill” which turns 5000 people who live in a city high rise into bloodthirsty murders looking to do one thing... Kill Mister Miracle!!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #Kirby #KingKirby #DrBedlam #MisterMiracle #ScottFree #MM #MisterMiracleMonday #NewGods #4thWorld #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics #ComicsOfIG #LMD #lifemodeldecoys ##Darkseid #DC #DCComics https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzsxvhthff0/?igshid=1wphxo9fc6687

#JackedKirby - Welcome To The Satan Club!!!! 😈😈😈 It’s #MisterMiracleMonday so we decided to take a little trip down... way down! Down to The Satan Club!!!! Whattttt?!!?!? 😈😈😈 Jack was never one to be subtle in his ideas or concepts, so when Mister Miracle And Oberon encounter an evil Satanic Cult in #Issue14 of the Mister Miracle series (June of 1973) it’s not so shocking... they encounter the cult attempting to kidnap someone in the woods (Pic 1 is the full double splash, Pics 2/3 are close up shots of the same spread) and follow them back to their lair... Satan’s Lair!!! 😈😈😈 In Pic 4 we see Jack taking the opportunity to visualize this cults home turf as a very creepy “haunted house”.... and excellent use of an opportunity. He could have drawn just any building... but he went with the classic haunted house motif and killed it! The New England colonial styled home looks creeky and aged, and sets the mode for the cult encounter to follow!!! 😈😈😈 The cult is led by Madam Evil Eyes (again, Jack was never subtle) and MM and Oberon are captured. The cult plan to sacrifice MM to Satan, so he in entrapped in the claws of a giant statue of the Dark Lord (Pic 5). Of course Scott Free isn’t so easily subdued... so he escapes the stone handed grip and begins to mete our justice as only a New God can!!! 😈😈😈 This one off cult story is a great opportunity for Kirby to experiment with numerous masks/helmets of the cultists, seen in the splash page. These masks resemble some of the horrific creatures that we would soon see from Jack’s other DC titles, OMAC and The Demon!!!! 😈😈😈 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #MisterMiracle #4thWorld #NewGods #Cult #Cults #Satan #SatanicCult #MadamEvilEyes #TheSatanClub #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #IGComics #ComicsOfIG https://www.instagram.com/p/B0yMIVjBJbo/?igshid=bfj57at2iydd

#JackedKirby - Mister Miracle Monday with Himon!!! 💥💥💥 Himon (and his storyline in Mister Miracle) is a very complex character/storyline and more proof that Jack had lots of backstory for the Fourth World that he never got to tell. In #Issue9 of Mister Miracle (August of 1972) Jack decided to take a step backwards and Flashback to a young Scott Free and how he escaped Apokolips and the clutches of Darkseid.... 💥💥💥 Himon is an inventor and rebel, using his inventions to help propel an army of soldiers against Darkseid. He secretly lives on the planet Apokolips as a Hunger Dog (the lowest class of people) so that he can manipulate events and cause trouble for Darkseid. Himon invented the Boom Tube and is very knowledgeable of the Source. 💥💥💥 This opening splash we see a brave Himon reaching through a Boom Tube to rescue a young Scott Free. It’s a snapshot of what is to come... in what is one of the most action packed issues of the series. 💥💥💥 In Pics 2/4 we see the final few pages of the issue, which show Scott trying to escape Apokolips and being caught up to by Darkseid. Instead of stopping Scott... Darkseid does the opposite. He gives Scott a choice.... stay here and keep the peace, or go through the Boom Tube and in effect BREAK THE PACT! This will give Darkseid cause for attacking New Genesis and breaking the peace treaty with Highfather. But it also brings Scott back to his original New God roots... and lays the groundwork for his love (and fellow Darkseid soldier) Barda to consider defecting too! 💥💥💥 I love the opening splash for the Boom Tube image, and you have to love Darkseid’s declaration.... both are done quite effectively. Also note that in Pic 4 Himon and Metron appear in spiritual form... another concept that George Lucas may have “borrowed” for Star Wars when he added “Force Ghosts” from The King!!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #MisterMiracle #MisterMiracleMonday #Himon #BoomTubes #TheSource #Darkseid #Apokolips #HungerDogs #FourthWorld #4thWorld #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGcomics #ComicsOfIG #DCcomics #DC https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gB6QghxCm/?igshid=1m5catexnl907

#JackedKirby - Mister Miracle Monday baby!!! Had to check in on everybody’s favorite New God, resident of Granny Goodness’s orphanage on Apokolips and step son of the most reviled tyrant to shoot an eye beam of death..... Mister Miracle aka Scott Free!!!! Today’s page comes from Mister Miracle #Issue13 published in April of 1973. The cover of this issue is Scottie bound up in chains on the train tracks with a speeding train approaching... and it opens with that same scene playing out on an awesome splash page. The following pages lead up to the trains arrival... and this one is moments before impact. It seems as if this is the end for our hero, as the chains go flying as the train meets the part of the track he is on.... ... but moments later when the train finishes past we see Scott just dusting himself off on the other side of the tracks!!! The crowd comes rushing up to congratulate him.... but what did you think would happen to Mister Miracle entangled in a trap on the train tracks??? #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #MisterMiracleMonday #MisterMiracle #NewGods #BigBarda #4thWorld #Apokolips #Darkseid #NewGenesis #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #IGComics #IGComicCommunity #ComicsOfIG #ComicsOfInstagram
