ow, but Mike Royer was easily the best inker Kirby ever had. So much better than that useless hack Colletter.
Note the last story at http://colescomics.blogspot.com/search/label/1939
oeconomist, that's a great link. I've never seen that story before. thanks.
Dan, let's not be running that man Colletta. hack he may well have ended up being, but, credit where credit's due, between them Jack and Vinnie - when Vinnie was in his prime - produced some of the finest Marvel comics, ever; their run on The Mighty Thor is a high-point in Marvel history - hell, in comics history!
and, you're right: Mike Royer rules!
