I found these scans this weekend on the Random Acts of Geekery blog, and, whilst I hopefully won't make a habit of stealing other people's content, I thought they were too cool not to share - original artwork by Jack Kirby, from the unpublished "Soul Love # 1".
It's interesting to note the extensive alterations to the central character's features in places - presumably to make her look 'more black' - but that aside I think this is an awesome piece of work - the dancing splash page in particular is just freakin' wonderful.
Some background of "Soul Love", and Kirby's work on the equally unlikely "True Divorce Cases", can be found here.
