TwoMorrows has published a lot of cool Mister Miracle pieces, but this one, the cover to the Jack Kirby Collector #21, seems so iconic that it could have been a cover on the original series. I use the same words over and over to describe art that I love. Words like really, great, and poster. But this image is really great and it should have been a poster.

Tommy Kohlmaier owns the version of this cover that was inked by Bob Wiacek. Compare this to the original pencils below. Wiacek keeps the King's lines intact, adds a few dimensions and smoothes out a few things.

Here are the original pencils for this piece (owned by Tod Seisser), which was published originally in the 1971 Kirby Portfolio. That portfolio had some other New Gods drawings as well, worth checking out here. Nuff Said!
