More Kosmic Kirby

In July of '76, the satellite Viking Orbiter 1 sent back photos from the surface of the planet Mars, one of which seemed to suggest a face. This article by Richard C. Hoagland notes that in 1958, in a comic book called Race for the Moon, Jack Kirby drew a story called "The Face on Mars" that bears more than a slight similarity to what the satellite photographed eighteen years later. This is not the first time this kind of thing has been noticed in Jack's work and they're probably all coincidences…but they sure remind me of the many times Jack was unquestionably ahead of his time.
