Gamma Inspiration: Original Kirby Sketches

Here's some original artwork by the King of Comics himself posted over at Bleeding Cool. The top image is an unused cover that Kirby illustrated for Black Magic. Thought this would be a fitting tribute with yesterday being "Kirby Day" (his birthday).

Very cool!

Aftermath Illustrations

Boing Boing has a recent post about some illustrations from an old Pageant magazine from the 50s. The artwork is great, even if the articles in the magazine are schlocky. Some of the other illios--which can be found on SF Weekly's website--are slightly disturbing, but the crazy piles of junk might provide inspiration for rubble in a campaign setting.

Check out SF Weekly for more images and their write-up about a truly goofy issue of Pageant.
