The Wonderful World Of Comics Sixty Years Gone! Marvel ....DC...and the rest with a release or publication date of 60 years ago this month

[Miracle Man aka Old Man Kimota @Kimota1977]

I spent the 104th birthday of my hero - Jack fkn Kirby - fighting with modern day fashy’s.

They attacked my sexuality. They attacked my friends. They attacked common decency.

But you know what?

Just like always -They lost.

And I feel like the King would have approved.

One of my Free Comic Book Day purchases from my LCS. Surprisingly, I have never actually read this before. Should I try drawing the examples in the book? Would you like to see what happens when I attempt to draw comics… the Marvel way?
