Lost Atlantis by Jack Kirby




Coupla days later, here's the source of Kirby's great cover.  Thanks, Russ!  First is the newspaper image when Alex Raymond first did it (then came Boy Commandos #23), and secondly, the scene in Flash Gordon #1

      True dat. Should I put up the Raymond panel for comparison? Many of the artists I love were strongly influenced by Raymond. He and Hal Foster kinda have that James Brown thing going, were they are "the Godfathers of comics"

      I forgot to mention Williamson's pin-up in Flash Gordon #1, a reversed image of the Raymond picture.
