Comics: Jack Kirby Presents Forbush Man

This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 2 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great posts about print cartoonists.


Many thanks to Archive supporter Kevin O'Neil for the loan of these great Marvel parody comics, Not Brand Echh. You might remember our first post featured Jack Kirby parodying his own Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer comics, and our second post was Marie Severin's take on Spidey-Man vs Gnatman and Rotten. Today, we bring you another great team-up of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, "The Origin of Forbush Man".


Mark Evanier has a new book out titled, Kirby: KIng of Comics. I haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet, but I'm sure it's great. Click through the link to find out about it at Amazon. If anyone out there would like to contribute a copy to the ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive's library, we would greatly appreciate it!


Here we have a story from the fifth issue of Not Brand Echh titled, "The Origin of Forbush Man". It was written by Stan Lee, laid out by Jack Kirby, drawn by Tom Sutton, with lettering by Artie Simek.










If you'd like to see more, let me know in the comments.
