Jack Kirby "EYE Panels"

Panels from "2001: A Space Odyssey" # 4, 1976



I wanted to repost this link to one of my favorite early blogs:

-since Jack Kirby's work is always a joy to wallow in. This post has several things in it (at that time I hadn't begun organizing my posts well), along with the collection of EYE PANELS.
After re-watching "2001..." the other night, I've pulled out Jack's comic book series that spun off from it, and am reading those again.
I wish I'd kept that big 'ol "Treasury Edition" of his from the film, but then there are a LOT of Kirby comics that I shouldn't have parted with...Thank goodness I kept as many as I did, after my big comic sellout.
KIRBY EYE PANELS, ya gotta love 'em. I was amused recently while re-reading a quote from Jim Woodring referring to an animation storyboard drawn by Kirby wherein he used an extreme closeup of eyes, and, "...the shot called for panning from the left eye to the right while two minutes of dialogue were spoken." which, as a director really cracks me up. Good 'ol Jack.
