The Sandman #1 - Jack Kirby art & cover + 1st appearance

Jack Kirby

The Sandman v1 #1, 1974 - After his first appearance in >Adventure Comics #40, the Sandman would evolve from a pulp fiction detective into a more typical super-hero. Three decades later, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon would introduce this bronze age iteration of the Sandman. New supporting characters Brute and Glob would also be introduced, along with the villain General Electric. Kirby's cover displays a miasma of strange figures while focusing on the central characters. His trademark panoramic spread on pages 2-3 generally meets expectations, partially compensating for the more crowded layouts that follow. Toward the story's end his drawings seems hurried, as if racing toward the finish. This is 1 of 4 Sandman issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover bronze age Sandman, 1st appearance Brute, Glob, General Electric, 1st issue / original page
