The 13 DAYS OF JACK KIRBY: PENCILS AND INKS Index

The master and his disciple.

IDW continues its deep dive into the artistry of comics with Jack Kirby: Pencils and Inks — Artisan Edition, a 160-page hardcover devoted to before-and-after work by the King and his inker, Mike Royer.

The book is filled with spreads showing Kirby’s original pencils from DC’s The Demon #1, Kamandi #1 and OMAC #1, side-by-side with the versions inked by Royer, who also wrote the introduction. (There’s also a gallery of covers and pages from select other issues.)

It’s — pun very much intended — Krackling stuff.

So for the next 13 days — starting Wednesday 11/23 — we’re going to be showing off EXCLUSIVE before-and-after examples of covers, splashes and various other pages daily.

And make sure you check this post every day because we’ll be updating with links to each entry as we publish them.
