Whether you're resting your full belly or shopping til you drop, you might wanna take a moment to check out this rare Jack Kirby classic intended for the nigh-mythical In the Days of the Mob #2! From Amazing World of DC Comics #10 it's "Modern Technology and the 'Get-Away Car'!" (inked by John Costanza). Can you dig it?

Yeah, it's a shortie but goodie. What did you expect after yesterday's mammoth post? Have mercy, Groove-ophiles!

Black and White Wednesday: Jack Kirby's "Murder, Inc."

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Been digging through the Files of the Far Out and here's what Ol' Groove's got for you today: from DC's fab fan-mag Amazing World of DC Comics #1 (April 1974), here's what would have been the lead feature in the never-to-have-been second issue of Jack Kirby's legendary black and white mag, In the Days of the Mob! Story and art by the King, inks (and letters?) by Mike Royer! Duck and cover! It's "Murder, Inc."!

Valentine's Day Special: Jack Kirby's In the Days of the Mob

Happy hearts and flowers, Groove-ophiles! Today is indeed Valentine's Day, and you know what that's all about! Love! Yep, l-o-v-e! Well, Ol' Groove knows how much you love Jack Kirby. How much Kirby loved to write and draw stories about gangsters rubbing each other out. How much gangsters love to rub each other out (especially on Valentine's Day). So, thought I, why not squeeze all that love into one post? How to do that? Why, by presenting some classic Kirby comics depicting rascals rubbing one another out from the legendary In The Days of the Mob #1 (Fall, 1971).

In the Days of the Mob had one of Kirby's wildest premises by having the stories narrated by Hell's Warden, Warden Fry! Check this out...

Makes Apokolips look kind'a tame, don't it?

Now, here's Ol' Groove's valentine to ya: Kirby's take on a legendary dinner with Al Capone called "Bullets for Big Al!" Enjoy, Groove-ophiles!
