Jack Kirby Gets Psychedelic With This Intense Silver Surfer Piece

If you're a fan of Jack Kirby, Marvel Comics' Silver Surfer, and artwork that would make even an employee at Spencer's Gifts feel like they're tripping out, this is something you're not going to want to miss. Heritage Auctions has put a psychedelic Silver Surfer by comics king Jack Kirby up for bid. Created by Kirby and the late, great Stan Lee, the character Silver Surfer first debuted in Fantastic Four #48 back in 1966. Like many of both Kirby and Lee's creators, Silver Surfer has gone on to become one of the most iconic comic book characters of all time. Kirby brings to this poster his style, which imagines the cosmic Marvel universe as a mind-bending trip, mixing elements of geometry with artwork that looks like organic cells would under a microscope. Or, at least, what I think that would look like. I'm a writer, not a scientist; give me a break. Let's take a look at this awesome piece.
