Mr Fantastic is great because the story will get really perilous or something and he'll maintain this level-headed seriousness the whole time and turn himself into this:

Look at him, he's so concerned but he's a freaking ball-man.

Love this guy

I have a love hate relationship with comic writers, sometimes it's like "omg my beloved you made my favorite piece of canon for my favorite character!" And other times it's "please for the love of god STOP WRITING! What the hell is this?"

X-Men 1 (Sept. 1963)

Stan Lee/Jack Kirby.

IT ALL STARTS HERE. You've seen this cover. Even I've seen this cover. Angel is trying to kill Magneto with a drainpipe, I think. Jean Grey is vogueing. This can't have made a damn bit of sense to anyone.

The first actual panel is a bit less thrilling.

Anyway at this point it's usual to exclaim about how much lore got established in the very first issue, and, like, it did - the Professor, the 5 original team members, Magneto, the whole mutant mythology - but as a consequence the whole issue feels like info-dumping about something that barely existed?

Also - and I can't stress this enough - they're all insanely horny for Jean Grey.

When the issue starts she's not yet joined - she arrives after a few pages of the others showing off their powers. Everyone - with the honourable exception of Iceman - is unable to be normal about her.

Cyclops in particular is dressed to impress. Not to do further sacrilege but the spatial stuff with this art leaves...something to be desired. These six people are allegedly all occupying the same space but it in no way looks like it.

We interrupt all this harassment to bring you...Magneto! Yes!

Magneto fucks, obviously, and he gives Kirby a chance to do what he really wants to be doing, which is drawing weird machinery.

He steals a military base while the boys are busy being horndogs back at the ranch.

But they show up eventually for a showdown. You can see why Magneto appealed to the creators as a villain: he lets Kirby do these weird semi-abstract assemblages which are cleanly surreal.

Aaaaaaand that's that.

I don't expect future posts from this project to be so long and I won't rehearse the whole story of each issue - at least, not always - but it only seems right to give a bit of time and attention to the very first issue. So...here we go. I have no idea where I'm going with any of this but I guess we'll find out.

“Coulrophobia Laser”

Happy Jack Kirby Day!

At the time of posting this strip, the clown charity is at $1,405. If it gets to $1,600, I'll draw an MCU something with every character drawn as a clown.

Still not entirely certain how the scene will be chosen.

You can donate here. All donations go to the Children's Hospital of Orange County.

-Jimmy Purcell.
