I know this alternate cover mock up has circulated around before, but it is so beautiful, I just had to re-post it. If only Stan had used this for the cover. Enjoy and kudos to whomever created it.  |

| It's neat but I don't love it. I'm a huge fan of the human torch covers. | ||

First appearance books without a cover appearance make me sad. I wont pay a premium for them. "Quietly and without fanfare". I wonder, what was the motivation behind writing that? |

| I prefer the torch cover over the Dr. Strange cover. It's not a very exciting cover. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson He's more a master of storytelling and layout. The same is true of Kirby. You have to factor what the industry standards were back then and that food on the table meant producing pages as quickly as possible to the industry's expectations. The bar got raised when Neal Adams came along. |

Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson I wasn't real wild about Kirby's artwork, but I gained an immense respect for it when I actually sat down and tried to draw a cartoon. Some very talented and respected artists will still reference Kirby's layouts and perspectives to get things drawn correctly. He had a background in animation so he knew all the transitions stages from still image to jumping across the room. He squeezed action into every comic. No panel was wasted. |

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 According to Steranko, you have a good eye. He told me himself that Kirby was the best he had ever seen (called it sacred geometry), and he prided himself in being good at it as well. Steranko talked for about a half hour on that subject alone when I spoke to him. How to properly position frames to draw the eye from frame to frame etc. He also flat out said Byrne was one of the worst he had ever seen  |

| Kirby was a machine. He churned out the art for several of the early Marvel books. He just about singlehandedly lifted Marvel off the floor artistically in those early days doing the layouts and art that took an army of others to ink and finish. Just amazing if you think about it. | ||
