Wow, Comics more than doubled in 10 years. Curse you Jimmy Carter!
Then they rose to 50 Cents a copy a couple of years later! Bleh! At least DC had a few oversized books that were still affordable!
Prefer the original.
Besides being Kirby, the "newspaper" emphasizes the "origin" aspect.
The re-do is nice, but generic.
Ironically, Marvel would re-tell the origin within four months when Steranko missed his deadline for #112 and Kirby did an entire issue over a three-day weekend to get the book to the printer on time!
(Let's see any of today's artists do THAT!)
This led to a running gag in Not Brand Echh to the effect that Cap couldn't go more than a couple of pages without re-hashing his origin over and over and over...! ;-)
Those were the days...
