Jack Kirby set a benchmark in the world of comics that will most likely never be equalled. Words really can not capture the amount of influence and inspiration his drawings have had on me. Even today I still have the same reaction to his work as when I first saw them as a child. His drawings of technology have a bizarre sense of depth that make them both seem possible and impossible. While these drawings exist throughout his work, my favorites are definitely from the Fantastic Four from Marvel Comics. This panel is from Fantastic Four Annual #5 page 19.
