Kirby

Stepping out of the early Image Comics explosion, Kirby made their debut in Youngblood #2 in 1992 — right at the heart of comics' most creatively turbulent era — courtesy of the inimitable Rob Liefeld. Over more than three decades, this character has woven through some of Image's most iconic titles, from Youngblood and Team Youngblood to the fan-favorite Prophet series, sharing pages with the likes of Prophet, Shaft, and Jackson Kirby. With 31 catalog appearances spanning 1992 to 2025 and at least one recognized key issue to their name, Kirby is a testament to the enduring vitality of the Image Universe — a figure worth tracking down for any serious collector of the modern era.
