Jack Kirby's 'In the Year 2525'

The 1969 song illustrated by The King's art.

I can't believe how perfect Kirby's artwork fits this song. Classic futurism indeed!

Wow!
Zager & Evans' classic has always been a bit creepy and unsettling, but combining it with this montage of Kirby images pushed it right over the top! Inspired brilliance, Fred! Among your best work.
Thanks!

That song freaked me out as a kid. Still does if I let my mind trip... Brilliant concept and excellent execution on the video, Fred. Kirby's art, as always never disappoints. Forgive my ignorance of those neon-colored psychedelic set pieces, but where did they come from and how do I see more of this period (70s?) in his work? Who did the color work? Were they part of a series or concept pieces? They are uniquely Stunning. The Kirby Museum uses this style for their webpage letterhead. I see a financial investment in my future. Oh well, the money comes, the money goes. Too quickly. Thanks for this much needed Kirby Continuum fix. As usual; Excelsior!

Marvel thinking he was washed up actually helped comic book HISTORY!they refused his new stuff so he took his talents to dc where he came in SPITTING HAD THE MOST IMAGINATION AND VISION OF ANYONE IN COMIC HISTORY!

0:14 I’m hoping this pic would make more sense in context, but still... gotta wonder what King was up to that day 😅

Great tune and fantastic visuals. Thanks Fred

All I want for Christmas is the world to get back to something approaching normal and a huge omnibus edition of Jack’s entire 2001: A Space Odyssey work.

But not necessarily in that order.

Happy holidays to all in the continuum!

Kirby was a bit like Nostradamus !!

Thank Fred!
