These pieces of art by Jack Kirby for a Lord of Light (Zelazny) film project look nothing like what I’d have envisioned for the book, but they’re classic Kirby.
There’s also a keen design drawing for a Science Fiction amusement park — which sort of looks like Asgard. With a monorail and a parking lot …

Gods, I love Kirby. Those pieces are fantastic, as is that theme park. A pity it never got built. Could you imagine walking through The World That Kirby Designed? I’d never want to leave.
I can’t imagine anyone, even Disney, being able to afford to build something the way Jack would draw it. Especially if it had to have that coruscating energy smoke effect that he loved so much. But it would be pretty cool.
