Of course, the debut of Earth's Mightiest Heroes measures among Kirby's most beloved covers. The header does crowd the scenery a little bit, but, in fairness, this was a titanic union of most of Marvel's characters at that point. You get Thor readying to pound Loki, Iron Man and the Hulk stalking towards the God of Mischief, and Ant-Man and the Was...
Jack Kirby wrote and drew a weird and wonderful solo series for the Black Panther that started in 1977. It was filled with treasure-hunters, bulbous headed humans with psychic powers from the far-future, and a pair of jeweled frogs purportedly belonging to King Solomon himself that allowed people to travel through time. It was great, and this was t...

It tells you everything you need to know about the Hulk in a single image. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are one, and it's something ev...
Devil Dinosaur, and his very special friend Moon-Boy, debuted in 1978. Created in response to Kirby's successful Kamandi series for rival DC, Devil Dinosaur never achieved that sort of notoriety. The art of that cover, though, is really something: Devil is all teeth and crimson, Moon-Boy is riding like a boss, and the logo in the corner has the tit...

Few could make a monster look as good as the King, as evidenced by this iconic cover featuring the tree man who would eventually go on to be one of today's most beloved movie stars. (That's quite a sentence!) This classic issue of Tales to Astonish first introduced Groot. At first an alien invader bent on subjugating all Earthlings, Groot eventuall...
Even though Galactus doesn't appear on the cover of Fantastic Four#48, his presence is clearly felt in the reactions of the Fantastic Four, and especially in the despairing posture and expression of the Watcher. This image perfectly captures the sense of the existential threat that Galactus usually poses to a planet: massive, unrelenting, certain. ...
Two dozen issues later, Silver Surfer appears on the cover of Fantastic Four#72, a perfect image of the surfer of the space way and the distinctive effect fans have come to call the Kirby Krackle or Kirby Dots.
