Don't Honk the Hulk!

I would think by this point I've seen everything from the Marvel fan clubs Marvelmania and FOOM.  Every once in a while, I uncover something I've never seen before, like this bumper sticker.

Don't Honk the Hulk!  Today everyone is a Marvel fan due to the movies.  Back in the day when someone put this on their car, you identified a rare True Believer.  Nuff Said!

Thor Thursday: Jack Kirby Marvelmania

Here's a classic Jack Kirby poster from the 1960s for the fan club Marvelmania.

Two Hulk Marvelmania posters by Jack Kirby and Herb Trimpe

I was thinking the other day about various posters that Marvelmania produced.  There was a Hulk poster, I remember that.  Did Jack Kirby or Herb Trimpe draw this poster?  The answer is...both of them did one!



Jack Kirby's version is unmistakably dynamic and powerful.  The Leader's sitting inside that Kirby cosmic contraption ready to blow Greenskin to smithereens.



Herb Trimpe's version (sorry this is best image I could get) has the same pose as Kirby's poster, the same angles and design.  Trimpe's touch is seen on the Hulk's face and the inking on the body is more rounded and less square.

Did Herb Trimpe ink over the pencils provided by Kirby for the original?  Why were there two posters?  Let me in on the secret if you know.  Nuff Said!
