Kid Clampdown: Stumptown Recap: CRISITUNITY KNOCKS

Lisa: Did you know that the Chinese use the same word for “crisis” as they do for “opportunity”?

Homer: Yes! CRISITUNITY!

I’ve gotten myself into a spot here and I’m damn well going to draw my way out of it. I need to come up with a lot money that I don’t have, and I’d like to start…

long story short- my homeboy DW went to stumptown to try to make some money selling comics- instead he got art STOLEN and a hefty speeding ticket. 

HELP HIM OUT BY BUYING ART HERE

scienceetfiction:

Concept art by Jack Kirby for a movie adaptation of Lord of Light, by Roger Zelazny.  The producer even dreamed of creating a theme park (third picture).

The movie was never made, but the CIA used the script and the art to give more credibility to the production of the fake sci-fi movie Argo, a cover for a secret rescue operation during the Iran hostage crisis.   Pictures via capnscomics.  A good article about the role of the Kirby art in the operation here.  

The film Argo (2012) is inspired from these events.  Michael Parks plays the role of Jack Kirby.
