I a...Simply superb stuff from the "king". I actually think the drawings from this period in his career (as his discontent with Marvel finally reaches the point where he leaves for DC Comics) is some of his best stuff. Certainly its a lot better than his early Thor illustrations and there's far more detail in these panels than his later work too. I'm a huge Kirby fan (why else would I collect Kamandi!!) but his stuff for DC lacked a lot of detail imho. Perhaps his anger at Marvel made him think he was going to show them precisely what they were losing, and then when he joined DC he took his feet off the gas? Great posting though either way :-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-48245624953356363002014-10-20T05:29:26.814-04:002014-10-20T05:29:26.814-04:00I can't take the credit for this one, mp--that...I can't take the credit for this one, mp--that was all Stan Lee, from the story's title.

I find it exhausting!<br />This is your basic Frankenstein Monster story, not the most original thing to come out of Lee/Kirby, but still a fun read, and some nice art.<br />The Crypto-man (yeah, I don't get that title either) came back later to hassle the Hulk, if I'm not mistaken. <br />Kind of a fun late 60's comic book. Maybe Kirby's heart wasn't much in it anymore, at this point, I dunno, but he still put out a cool comic. mpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
