I was going to ignore this small array of covers by Jack Kirby from the 1970s, particularly as much more powerful blogs than my own have already drawn attention to it, but on a second glance it struck me that Forever People is a really under-discussed and under-examined comic in the Kirby oeuvre. The above cover is a classic case of using strong lines and over-sized visual elements to overcome the restrictions of a generally text-driven and deadspace-heavy design.
