Only the last one is new to me, but it helped me to finally put two and two together (ha!). Bob, like many of the young bucks doing art in the classic fanzine era, had a great obsession with dinosaurs

Eternals Promo by Jack Kirby
First is the presentation piece as it appeared in a latter-day fanzine, then the presentation piece as the two-page pencils Jack showed Marvel (somebody instantly changed The Gods to The Eternals to avoid a fight with DC), then finally, the ppromo as we saw it

Star Hawks' Rex's Hair by Gil Kane
When Star Hawks was being published in the papers, on Monday thru Saturday, it didn't come up, but on Sundays, Rex's hair appeared to be prematurely white, like Kane himself and somea his other characters, notably Cap'n Marvel and Savage. The last image is from France, and I dunno what was going on there, but if you search France Star Hawks on here, it's all that brown hair for Rex

Belated Valentine's by Jack Kirby
Oooops! I had a really nice fundundant post of the Black Book Valentine Pencils Jack did for Roz, and it woulda been the umpteenth time I did it for Valentine's Day, but this year, life got in the way, and I just realized I only had moments left to even get a VD post up in the right month, and I can't do a gigantor batch of pictures (apparently the blog bartender says he hasta cut me off), and I just said how much I dig every Black Bolt Jack ever did, so here's one of many, but please search Roz on here for the whole magilla

I've lost two remotes over the years. One was hidden under an ottoman by a hyper puppy, and discovered months after its replacement was ordered. The other was under a high chair booster thingy we had strapped to a kitchen table chair, again found months later

Revisit'n The Cover To Fantastic Four #82 by Jack Kirby
Only new image on here is the first one, and it's new around here cause it just came out twenty years ago, so it took some get'n used to. But, seriously, folks, it's a beauty version of onea the all-time great covers, and embiggens nicely. Onea the few times, by the by, where my own copy is up here (for the original cover).
