Strange Tales #102: Original Art, Story Page 8 - Jack Kirby, 1962
This issue of STRANGE TALES drawn by Jack 'THE KING' Kirby features the original Human Torch, and the first appearance of the Wizard, who is seen on this fantastic page kidnapping the Human Torch and taking his place in the last panel.
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Demand for Silver Age Marvel art from the King is always high and the supply of nice pages is dwindling at a rapid rate.
