| Does anyone know when Stan Lee decided that one "e" on the end of his signature was enough? A lot of his signatures look like Stanle. | ||

| Yeah that’s pretty awesome. I was just trying to demonstrate to the op that’s sigs on books are what you make them. Are they for you? Are they to make money? Aside from the examples that everyone has sighted making money isn’t usually likely to happen. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad A nicely done signature like the Marvel Zombies you showed can look like a natural addition to the existing artwork and enhance it. Steranko seems to enjoy making an artform out of this. You and I both have a Swamp Thing 7 with a well-placed signature. Chris Claremont looks like he trying to send a message that he doesn't believe in signing covers. |

| @HeinzDad - total agree on placement and grade. That Zombies cover did catch my eye. Good call. It was my point to with the Lee Star wars signature. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDadthere is an old saying...if you have to ask...but for me at least, I think of Kirby's art in the frame of what was being drawn around him...from the 40's forward. Often his art in that context, when compared to his contemporaries shines. My favorite Kirby work was of course when he was doing New gods for DC. When he went to DC it was agreed he would take over writing and drawing one regular title , as well as producing anything above and beyond he was wanting to do....in that light, Kirby was writing and drawing Jimmy Olsen when he launched the New gods, along with Forever people, and Mister Miracle. By comparison Rob Liefeld was famous for missing deadlines while working on a single Marvel title...meantime Kirby was writing and drawing not one...but four titles at a time Beforehand while he was with Marvel, a little research suggests ....In November of 1963, he drew 139 pages and 7 covers. By 1964 and 65, he was doing more than 100 issues each year. It isnt so much just the art itself, as the writing, and sheer staggering amount of material this man produced single handedly at times. When i look at kirby art I see a very newspaper comic style of drawing...but when you look closer, each building has ornate details, each area that could bear a little more detail is often filled with it etc. He took a staggering amount of work, and made it look simple, while also creating and helping write and design some of the most well established heroes and super teams we have in comics even 60 years later |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia It is really nice when the signer considers placement and it’s affect on the cover. Both Scott Snyder and Jock used red ink to go with the cover art of my Detective Comics 880. Thought that was pretty cool. (Both of them were really nice when meeting them, definitely two of my favorite current creators).  |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad @HeinzDad You, sir, are a scoundrel and a knave. Flintlock pistols at dawn! Jack Kirby was an unparalleled creator and artist! No artist has been as influential or prolific. Never a page-a-day artist, Kirby could draw a complete 20-page comic in a weekend. All before the age of computer-assisted drawing. He had a splendid interpretation of the human form, even when stretched or 'rocky'. I love how he draws materials like crushed buildings. Many Marvel artists were told 'just draw like Kirby'. As a storyteller, Kirby created characters that will be talked about 100 years from now. Now I need to calm down. Maybe some scotch will help. |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDadFair enough if you missed the subtle nuance that he also did much of his own WRITING....sometimes entire sets of titles while doing all that art......I agree his art has a particular style, and look to it that some do not care much for. Many newer artists who only have to draw a ten or twelve page storyboard to meet their deadline will never know the struggle of trying to fill a 52 page giant spectacular....and again, thats aside from the storytelling and writing he often did to accompany the work. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson I'm not a fan of Kirby art (and even less a fan of his writing) but I would place Ditko well below Kirby. Ditko art looks like he had a bunch of action figures that he would pose and then draw that scene. |

BigRedOne1944 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I prefer my books be original and free of any writing, date stamps etc…. There’s just to much fraud in autographs and I would certainly never give any premium for a signed book. Especially any modern crsp. Jack Kirby is without question one of of the greatest artist of all time, bar none, IMO |
