Verified Signature: New Gods 12013

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
Hey,

I'm submitting to CBCS a New Gods 1 that has (what I believe to be real) a Jack Kirby signature at the bottom of the splash page. I read the Verification process CBCS employs through CSA Comics. Does anyone know if Jack Kirby signed his books the same way all the time? Did Jack have a "trademark" way of signing (i.e. always the splash page or always in ink etc..) Also, if verified, is it the red label or yellow label?

It will be red label. Not sure how or where Kirby usually signed

Kirby is well known enough that they will probably have already seen every variation of his legit signature.

I have two verified Jack Kirby signatures and he seems to always sign the bottom of the first page. I have seen one time where he signed the cover, but it's was in the usual thin looking ball point pen.

The image I uploaded is from my Avengers 1 in a beautiful example. Good luck!

It was pretty common for Jack to sign books at the bottom of the first page. Here's the one on my copy of FF #62 verified by CBCS. I am honored to have it.

All those pics are fantastic and consistent with mine. The above sig in this pic is on the 1st page of the comic at the bottom and the other signatures are confirmed authentic Jack Kirby sigs. Hopefully mine is verified! Thanks to all who posted!!

I have seen numerous Kirby signatures and had many of my own verified (a couple have been rejected); yours looks to me like the real deal! Couple things to check for: ball point pen, signed on first page (he rarely signed on covers), and pen flow (does the ink of the signature look smooth, ie no hesitation). If you do submit this, I think it has a pretty good chance of passing imho.
