ReplyDeleteAwesomely boldly beautiful .. I love a splash page that you can read from 10 feet away :) Kirby clearly loved starting his stories with a bang...no plodding exposition to slow you down. And later he was all about the two-page splash.
ReplyDeleteI was always disappointed that the Exiles never went to an earth where critters like Shagg ruled the world.
ReplyDeleteI love how obsessed with rock-monsters Kirby was. The man was a genius.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome! I feel two feet shorter just looking at those!
