Kirby’s 2001

Written By Gabriel L. Helman

I need everyone to stop what you’re doing and look at the back cover art from Jack Kirby’s adaptation of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

In Kirby's 2001, Dave Bowman has the coolest looking hands. Meanwhile, apes are fighting in front of a volcano and the Discovery One is surrounded by Kirby Crackle.

I like that movie a lot (although I think it’s much more flawed than its fans like to admit,) but I think I would have preferred this version.
