It’s a rainy Sunday morning here in Fumetto. The Kirby show is up, three floors and around 150 pages later. Here are some photos from the weekend thus far. I should note that not shown here are the superlative 1940s and ’50s pages we have on display, including the cover to Boy Commandos<\/em> 23, unpublished Black Magic<\/em> and Foxhole<\/em> covers, the entire “City of Ghouls” from Fighting American<\/em> 2, and more. I’ve so enjoyed walking through Kirby’s career, watching his visual world change and expand. Paul and I have also been lucky enough to be joined by two of our lenders, Tom Morehouse and Tom Kraft, as well as Rand Hoppe of\u00a0 The Jack Kirby Museum. Just having spitballing history and theory with these guys has been an incredible education. Now I need to see the rest of the festival.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The third floor: Omac<\/em>, 2001, the complete Losers<\/em> story (plus some pencils) from Our Fighting Forces<\/em> 156, a Soul Love<\/em> story, and, yes, more. <\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ben says "are you kidding me?" when confronted with all but two pages of Fantastic Four <\/em>54. We filled a room with it. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fumetto: They mean business. Kirby on the city buses. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kirby collector and show lender Tom Kraft, Kirby Museum man Rand Hoppe and Ben Jones take in the Marvel room on the second floor. Highlights here include splash pages from Sgt. Fury<\/em> #3, X-Men<\/em> #16, and Fantastic Four<\/em> Annual 2. Some gorgeous Thor<\/em> material, as well as A key page from Avengers<\/em> #3. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The complete Kamandi<\/em> #6 -- a highlight of 1970s Kirby. Rigorous details and a riotous combination of sex, bikes, suspense and landscapes. <\/p><\/div>\n

\"Here's<\/a>

Here's a partial view of the Ben Jones show at The Kunsthalle, a rather large industrial space, Jonesy made a cardboard monolith, a tangle of ladders, and some damn fine paintings. Not shown: A mildly pornographic mural, some stripes, and a video. The whole this is a refreshing change of pace.<\/p><\/div>\n
