Pavilions of Joy

History:

Jack Kirby: The Pavilions of Joy drawing was really created for views into architectural rendering of sections of Science Fiction Land. We started with ideas of what Brahma's "Pavilion of Joys"might look like, but somehow progressed onto a 1000 foot street of statues of the Gods. Jack threw the Mahasamatman ("Lord of Light") statue commandingly looking down the avenue and away we went!

Lord of Light:  Just your standard everyday lineup of 80 foot statues of the Gods looking over your shoulder, as you walk down the street! Can they really read your thoughts? Does Yama's mind-probe device, which is fabled to "pick up a man's thoughts which they don't like out of a crowd" really work? Hmmm.....
