He was a great man and did many good things for comic books. An entire comic book drwan by him would have been cool. But we'll have to settle for old THOR comics for his best work ever.<br /> Kirby was the forefather of comic books and his work inspired everyone we know today. R.I.P KIRBY. I understand there are many Kirby detractors out there and that's accaptable. It's all good. We all have opinions and yours is appreciated.Mike D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11814827714980192042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742120057018942091.post-41155275937558313742009-11-22T13:16:12.588-08:002009-11-22T13:16:12.588-08:00legendary Jack Kirby is the friggin man, and don&#...legendary Jack Kirby is the friggin man, and don't you forget it.I try to but all comic knucklehead keep reminding of it.Kirby's Conan was poor far as I'm conserned.It no Barry or John Bescema.That drawing ain't bad,but I would want a whole comic of it.Kirby writing was so so to cornball even in his day.Thats why DC crap didn't -with the exception of Kamandi and even got bumped after a few years.mavericstud1https://www.blogger.com/profile/09599747392514063878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742120057018942091.post-63265123457313963152009-11-04T07:11:32.071-08:002009-11-04T07:11:32.071-08:00No..butI'd heard there was an issue of KIRBY c...No..butI'd heard there was an issue of KIRBY collector that actually had a copy of the original pencils...out there...somewhere.Mike D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11814827714980192042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-742120057018942091.post-26953501682793174362009-11-03T15:42:24.611-08:002009-11-03T15:42:24.611-08:00Yeah I love this one!
