Today would have been Jack Kirby’s 98th birthday! I created this character inspired by all the insano awesome things I love about Jack’s artwork. Happy 98th to the King!
Also…
CONTEST!
If you can think of a good name for this guy leave it in the comments. I’ll give a comic book featuring Jack Kirby artwork to the person who comes up with what I deem the best one!

I dub him Kracklus, The Visual Effect That Walks Like A Man!
‘Lantern-Head’ the illuminater.
Blastor.
Galathanoesator
These are all pretty good… I’m giving the contest another week. I’ll announce a winner on the 14th so get your entries in by then!
I was leaning toward Blastor until I Googled it and found out that’s already a Biowarrior AND a hip hop artist. D’oh!
So the winner is…….
Joseph with his entry, “Lantern-Head!” It’s straight and to the point (like “The Silver Surfer”) and I think it fits well! Your prize will be on it’s way soon Joseph!
Thanks to everyone who gave a suggestion… good stuff all around!
Thank you! And thank you for ‘Lantern-Head’, pondering him and the king truly made my morning last August. Today I think, what a perfect autumnal villain. I could see him bursting from a stack of Jack-O-Lanterns with panache.
