You’re going to buy me this Jack Kirby original for my birthday … right?

With my birthday at the other end of this month—why, it’s exactly four weeks from today!—I know you’re wracking your brain trying to figure out exactly what to get me to celebrate the date. Well, wrack no further, because over on eBay, I’ve located the perfect gift.

Back in 1994, just two months before his death, Jack Kirby recreated his original cover for Amazing Fantasy #15 (first published in 1962), and that beautiful penciled artwork is now up for sale. The asking price is a mere $60,000. And I know that when it comes to showing your love for me, cost is no object.

Don’t worry. If a couple of you feel you need to chip in together, I won’t hold it against you.
