Nice find.
To see the artist himself preserved on video, and see his work habits as he draws.




This is pretty cool: A set of rejected Kirby covers from his DC years (1970-1975).

I guess they'd originally considered introducing the New Gods in a SHOWCASE issue.

The others, such as the two of the three rejected JIMMY OLSEN covers, were later used in reprint editions. They were previously reprinted in other books, such as the JACK KIRBY:MASTERWORKS book (1978).

Although this set of unused Kirby DC covers is not complete. There's also one (not included in this article) for a proposed DC Limited Collectors' Edition tabloid giant that would have concluded the Orion vs. Darkseid "Final Battle" of the New Gods.

Which was finally done by Kirby in a vastly different form in the 1985 graphic novel HUNGER DOGS. Which for my money is the absolute worst thing Kirby has ever done. Would that Kirby could have concluded the series in 1972, while still in his prime.

There are several complete stories by Kirby from that period that went unpublished, such as two complete issues of DINGBATS OF DANGER STREET (intended to continue after FIRST ISSUE SPECIAL 6) that probably have covers as well.
And "The Seal-Men's war on Santa Claus", that would have been SANDMAN 7, and also was slated for KAMANDI 61 (which was cancelled in the DC Implosion in 1978 with issue 59), but only was published as Xeroxes in CANCELLED COMICS CAVALCADE.
In the mid 1980's it finally saw print in color in a BEST OF DC digest 22 (March 1982).
And Just a few months ago in JACK KIRBY OMNIBUS VOLUME 2.


Here's also a collection of all Kirby's DC house ads (along with a few playful photoshops at the end.)
