Jack Kirby’s work space.
Absolutely my favorite and most inspiring image I’ve seen in a while.
I love how unpretentious and no-bullshit it is. It’s a plain desk, with a plain chair and a plain side chair, all of which are beat up from use and covered in ink. It faces a corner, one that’s covered in unorganized comics. It’s inspiring to see the desk that held the home of creation for countless characters was so practical. Nothing fancy about it. Just a place to sit down, shut up and do the work.

This page from SGT FURY AND HIS HOWLING COMMANDOS #13 includes one of Jack Kirby’s early experiments with incorporating collages of photographs into his work. Reportedly, many of the photos cannibalized for these pieces came from the pages of Martin Goodman’s many sleazy men’s magazines.

At the top, Kirby writes:

C.A. FOUND THE DETONATOR! THE TUNNEL’S BLOWING!

UP THE HATCH!

GO! GO! GO!

On the right:

END OF OPERATION EINFALL

And at the bottom:

NEXT DAY IN HOSPITAL

CAP SAWYER

IT’S YOU BUMS!
