Captain America #106 - Jack Kirby art & cover

Jack Kirby

Captain America v1 #106, 1968 - Jack Kirby continues his exceptional streak on this series. This frenetic cover, however, has always baffled me due to its poor foreshortening of limbs. A replicate Steve Rogers threatens the real Cap, though it's not especially obvious until you read the story. The antagonist's arms and legs seem stunted, almost dwarf-like in nature. Inside, Kirby delivers over twenty pages of superbly drawn and composed pages. Two splashes help in the pacing, including one of the hero in dramatic mid-leap. This is 7 of 34 Captain America issues by Kirby.
