    10.07 mentions creative freedom yet unfortunately shows a panel which DC edited at the time, they would have another artist drawn over the face of Superman as they did not like the way he depicted the character. Not a bad vid but a bit of a fluff piece, also I doubt he would have liked that terrible Furries mini

    60's Marvel writing was too schlocky for me. I'm glad that Kirby finally cut loose and showed himself to not only be one of the best artists at Marvel, but also one of the best writers.
    I would've loved to see Kirby, Ditko, and Everett go full Image, creating their own publishing company and leaving Stan to draw his writing.

    • @cha5
      @cha5 Před 4 lety +1

      @Rob Y. I can respect Stan, but sometimes his purple prose dialog was irritating especially his Silver Surfer series with the Surfer being given a less than compelling origin story and a lost love and constant unending platitudes,
      I myself wish that an Image option for self publishing would have been an option for Kirby and other artists back then and that he could have actually completed The Fourth World Saga along with other works.

      The artwork and the writing were created by the artists like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko.

    Marvel Comics had many characters that were more or less variations on DC characters (bestowing a life into them all their own). So I find it interesting that once Marvel and Stan Lee were presented with the original vision of Jack's Fourth World, they passed. Instead DC comics took Jack in, and in doing so continued their own legacy as being the home of the quintessential characters and stories that they are known for. It was destined to be!

Jim Starlin heavily based Thanos on Metron and Darkseid, probably because he couldn't use them while at Marvel. At most, maybe he'd have a chance of using Darkseid in his own story, assuming Marvel like DC would likely not let Kirby finish the Fourth World Saga on his own terms.

      Jack Kirby sucked without Stan Lee. His dialogue was excruciating. He was immensely talented but lacked the maturity to harness it successfully without a guiding hand such as Joe Simon or Stan Lee. Btw, Royer was not a great inker. His main asset, besides speed, was being geographically close to Jack, another silly decision Kirby insisted on, though there are any number of better inkers that would have loved to work with Jack (Wally Wood being one of them).

      @Brick Bazooka DC was riding the coattails of the 1966 Batman series at the same time Lee and Kirby and Ditko and Steranko were changing the face of comics over at Marvel, 'Camp' was the main DC formula at this time in titles like 'The Inferior Five' and 'Brother Power the Geek',
      It was in the early seventies when DC changed their direction what with new talent like O'Neil and Adams, Wein and Wrightsen and others in order to compete with Marvel in addition to their announcement that "Kirby is Coming!" at that time.
      Not that DC didn't have their own top roster of creators in the Golden and early Silver Age ranging from Infantino to Kubert and Kane among many others.

    Kirby went back and forth between Marvel and DC over the years , money and law suits were always the reasons . Kirby was allowed to flourish at Marvel but after several years he noticed that he was not getting the money he felt he earned . At DC he was given far more freedom ( except on Superman's face ) and he flopped . Back to Marvel then . A few years after Kirby left DC the New Gods were brought back and Kirby was not credited as their creator . Jack was always better off at Marvel than at DC .
