One of the galvanizing inspirations of my life came from Marvel comics and in particular the comic book artwork of Jack Kirby, creator (in collaboration with Stan Lee) of The Fantastic Four and Thor, my favorite Marvel comics. Below are images of those characters. (Note: these images are photos of one-of-a-kind "fan art" of comic book characters I have long admired, the copyrights belong to Marvel Comics.)
