My Favorite Comic Book Cover Today #25 - In The Days Of The Mob!


I love this magazine. I wanted one from the moment I saw the ad, but it would years before I ever saw a copy. I snatched it up immediately. The interiors are pure hardcore Kirby, drawing what Kirby loved to draw--mobsters! He worked them into practically everything he ever did no matter how illogical it might've seemed on the surface. These guys were the "super-villains" of his youth, and oddly enought in a rough-cut way the "heroes" too. You want to understand Kirby, you have to learn about mobsters.
