Imagine coming across a treasure trove of concept art and characters created by Jack Kirby.
That's kinda what happened with over 600 pages of Kirby art -- production art made when Kirby left the comic world and worked in cartoons -- that sat around in boxes at animation house Ruby-Spears (they did Saturday morning cartoon "Thundarr the Barbarian" in the early 1980s).
The New York Times reports on the Kirby creations, made for Ruby-Spears when Kirby worked for them, and how the company is teaming up with Sid and Marty Krofft, the legendary producers of trippy 1970s TV series "Land of the Lost" and "H.R Pufnstuf," to bring these characters to the movies, TV, video games, etc.
Some creations include, per the Times: “Roxie’s Raiders,” an Indiana Jones-style serial about a female adventurer and her allies; “Golden Shield,” about an ancient Mayan hero seeking to save earth in the apocalyptic year 2012; and “The Gargoids,” about scientists who gain superpowers after being infected by an alien virus.
