Champions #6 - Jack Kirby cover

Jack Kirby
The Champions v1 #6, 1976 - No novice to superhero team books, Jack Kirby seems to cram every member onto this layout. As with many Champions covers, Hercules tends to be the dominant figure but the Ghost Rider is noticeably absent. Why the villain would go on the attack while carrying the unconscious Black Widow also seems a stretch. Kirby's clunky style is more prominent than usual, adding an undesirable stiffness to the figures and the cover in general. Other artists in this bronze age comic include George Tuska. This is 1 of 1 Champions issues by Kirby.

there was some corrections done on the Iceman figure before the cover saw print, as the pencils were published in the Kirby Collector. The cover looks like it was inked by Frank Giacoia. I believe this is the only time Kirby drew the Black Widow in her jumpsuit.
