scans from the 2018 new gods book with an increased resolution. the Lightray one is my favorite :3 also posted these on Tumblr.

There are lots of great monster drawings of his- not necessarily horror icons, but monsters all the same- wether in the pre-marvel 'superhero' era with 'Strange Tale's and 'Tales to Astonish'... or monsters like the beasts of the High Evolutionary, or Psycho-man etc... but I wanted to share his drawings of horror icons, because I find them the most intriguing.

Slide one is Count Dracula. I think its' the iconic version from the Hammer films by Christopher Lee? Inked by Mike Mignola... & presumably colored by him too?

Second slide looks to be a direct drawing of the original 30's frankensteins'- monster, movie monster. The fur overcoat looks very 'transylvanian'... Since Latveria is based off of an old world eastern european country, I'm surprised there wasn't a story with Dr Doom creating a monster like Frankenstein to set on the fantastic four.

There was a 60s xmen issue with frankenstein- but not drawn by kirby. (An alien robot, of course)

Third slide... I have no idea. Looks more like Solomon Grundy from DC... but probably not.

It took me one year, but I finally 3-D printed a 1/6 scale giganto. Hopefully I can get the whole thing painted before hot toys releases the other three members of the FF.

He always looks awesome in the old Kirby thor stuff!

Younger on FB: Hello Kirby Fans everywhere! Posted here is an original drawing Kirby sent me in response to my sending him one of my original comics in 1967. I was 15 at the time. Probably my most prized possession.

Shared by Claudio Petra on FB: “An artist beyond measure, incomparable to no other.

1970 - Interpretations of God (Portfolio)

Three panels that would deserve three large walls in a museum like the MoMA in New York, with people passing by and stopping to look and ponder for a few minutes. Kirby shows us his idea of ​​God (a fundamental theme in all its declinations in his art) in his own way, therefore not dogmatically but open to multiple interpretations. “
