Lord of Light

Jack Kirby's Lord of Light

Have you seen Argo yet? No? Well, the basic premise is that the CIA is sneaking six US diplomats out of Iran under the guise of everyone being involved in a fake science fiction film. It's based on a true story and, awesomely enough, the original sketches for the faked film were done by comic legend Jack Kirby. This collection of images shows off the concept boards for "Lord of Light" and the accompanying theme park that was also going to be built. The pieces are mind bogglingly awesome and I'm more than a little bummed that they never became a reality.

  • This is interesting, I didnt know he was a part of it. Kirby is the king. His 70s/80s work with DC and Marvel is some of his best and really showed his vision of the future, like these pictures. Hope you are doing good my man
