Every one of those Who's Who illustrations makes you wanna go out and pick up the comics and read them.

I doubt that anyone feels the same way about any of the Stan Lee Just Imagine DC one-shots, or Stripperella, or Mosaic/The Condor (Pow!), or Ultimo/Bones (manga).

Without a Kirby, a Ditko or any of the other "wrists" who apparently just drew Stan's stories, the whole "Marvel Method" notwtithstanding, the guy can't create a fart that makes any sense.; 30 September 2011 16:48

Anonymous said...: Yes,it is the collaboration that made,for example,Fantastic Four work.
It's obvious that Lee had talent, but he needed someone to collaborate with,to be able to strike gold.
(Costume/character-design is key.)
If only the company gave credit (and money) were credit's due.
And if only Jack Kirby (and Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster and...)had had a decent contract.
And;Thank you,Joe.

Rip Jagger said...: Love these.

Despite the fact that these are clearly from Kirby's later and diminished period, they still sizzle with his creativity.

I got rid of a bunch of my DC comics long ago, but I held onto these simply because they had these Kirby images in them. Those Fourth World books are dynamite.
