“The mass production of instruments of comfort - all revolutionary, according to the publicity handouts - has given the most unsophisticated of people the right to express an opinion on the marvels of technological innovation in a tone as blase as the hand they stick in their pants. The first landing on Mars will pass unnoticed at Disneyland.”
Raoul Vaneigem
(Panel by Jack Kirby, Mike Royer et al, from (OMAC #1, 1975)

Orion by Paul Pope. Colored by David Zissou.
I wanted to use Pope’s Orion as a study on how to problem solve work that uses ink wash by using layers. The flat red was too much for the lighter ink wash. Whatevs. I like the first the most.

Dylan Horrocks draws Jack Kirby, both a younger, pre-WWII Kirby and an older 1980’s Kirby.
Horrocks also wrote about where the “Comics Will Break Your Heart” quote that opened his Hicksville graphic novel came from.
“This sketch tells the story behind the quote that opens Hicksville. It was told to me by James Romberger, an artist and cartoonist whose amazing graphic novel Seven Miles a Second (written by activist and artist David Wojnarowicz) has just been reissued by Fantagraphics.
In the 1980s, Romberger met Kirby at a convention in New York. Kirby kindly looked at Romberger’s work and then gave him a piece of advice: “Kid, you’re one of the best. But put your work in galleries. Don’t do comics. Comics will break your heart.”
Romberger followed Kirby’s advice for years, mostly exhibiting in galleries, while drawing comics for alternative and literary magazines – and occasionally for commercial publishers – on the side. When the first edition of Seven Miles a Second was published by Vertigo in 1996, Romberger mentioned in his artist’s bio that he’d once been told by Jack Kirby “comics will break your heart.” As soon as I read that, I knew I would have to use it in Hicksville. I’m grateful to Romberger for later sharing the full story with me and I urge you all to buy his & Wojnarowicz’s extraordinary book.”
