Yellow Claw #3 - Jack Kirby art

Yellow Claw #3

Yellow Claw v1 #3, 1957 - A silhouetted Yellow Claw looms large over a tiny cadre of soldiers on the first story's opening splash (see interior page below). Jack Kirby delivers an especially powerful image, suggesting the villain's vast power and influence. All four of the artist's stories begin with a similarly compelling page. "The Yellow Claw Captured" utilizes a clever front page newspaper design that sets a distinctive tone. As in the previous Yellow Claw issue, Kirby inks his own pencils, demonstrating a rarely-seen capability. Other artists in this golden age comic include George Roussos and Don Heck. Cover by Bill Everett. This is 2 of 3 Yellow Claw issues by Kirby.
