An Awesome Jack Kirby Page

From Fantastic Four #61

After a battle with Sandman, the preposterously named Mister Fantastic gets sucked into the Negative Zone.

But this isn’t just any “sucked into the Negative Zone” scenario, thanks to artist and writer Jack Kirby.

In one powerful 4-panel page, Kirby takes Reed Richards through four visually distinct levels of suckage, each weirder and more cosmic than the last.

You don’t have to read a word on these pages to get the idea that Reed has swirled down the cosmic toilet.

What a gorgeous page.

I have a lot of experience with being sucked into the Negative Zone (of depression) myself, but a daily dose of Kirby sure helps keep me afloat.

Jack Kirby.

Nuff said.
