JACK KIRBY'S 'ARGO' PRINTS - IN COLOR FOR THE FIRST TIME

^ I want this one!


via Heavy Metal Magazine:


Before the King of Comics' debut in the pages of our hallowed (and now humbled) magazine, we present this mind-blowing artwork in a series of limited edition blacklight prints!

Barry Geller and Jack Kirby's "LORD OF LIGHT" artwork is set to appear in color for the first time in Heavy Metal #276. And to celebrate, we're giving Comic Con attendees a chance to own a piece of history in bold psychedelic blacklight!

These works of art by Geller and Kirby, mostly unseen before now, are part of American history as they were the artwork used by the CIA for OPERATION: ARGO, which helped free American embassy workers during the Iranian coup in 1979.

This stunning print was produced in an edition of just 50, and we are making a small number available for pre-order! This offer is exclusively for those attending San Diego Comic-Con. All orders can be picked up in person at Comic Con during all hours of the show at the Heavy Metal booth (#1529)

Based on "Lord of Light" by Roger Zelazny, conceived by Barry Geller and Jack Kirby, colored by Mark Englert.
