Angel Gabriele — Kirby Mash
Jack Kirby Classic Hulk & Iron Man Mashup, 2012
Here’s a fun mashup of two early Jack Kirby Marvel Silver-Age images: Hulk, from the title splash of Avengers #2, and Iron Man from the cover of Tales of Suspense #39.
About 10-12 years ago, Angel was drawing some Kirby-recreations and original reinterpretations, and offering them online. He included this specific art with some other items I acquired from him, with this inscription. Very lovely, especially since I like to think he was really thanking Jack here, not me.
And I like it better that way.
Itβs also the appropriate art to segue into a celebration of the Avengers 60th anniversary, coming in February.
Stay tuned.
