Jeff of Earth-J replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"I think Kamandi was inspired by the popularity of Planet of the Apes, but according to Mark Evanier Kirby had not seen the movie prior to creating the Kamandi comic book series.
I think I can relate the gist of Gibbons’ story I mentioned above…"
Luke Blanchard replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"I don't know that one. I'll be interested to hear what it was.
An interesting thing about Kamandi is it was obviously prompted by Planet of the Apes, but drew on work Kirby had done before the movie came out: his unsold Kamandi of…"
Jeff of Earth-J replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"There is a story reprinted in the Simon & Kirby Library volume dedicated to science fiction stories which features an image of an astronaut chained to an asteroid, an image Kirby would later reuse in Fantastic Four (Blastaar) and New Gods (the…"
Luke Blanchard replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"Thanks, Ronald. I don't know what that story might be.
This story is from Alarming Tales #1 (Harvey, 1957) also. Scans in this and the previous post from Comic Book Plus.

Richard Willis replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"You're right. I guess they can't interfere with the scripts. The comic store and the apartments always have DC, Vertigo, and other DC imprints in view. I'm pretty sure no other companies are shown on camera. "
Wandering Sensei: Moderator Man replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"They talk about the Marvel super-heroes quite a bit, but pretty much all of the comics in the comic shop are DC (I've seen some Dark Horse stuff in there as well)."
Ronald Morgan replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"I remember Jack turning up something a bit like that at Marvel, in the days before the FF turned up."

Jeff of Earth-J replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"If you’ve never had the opportunity to see a page of original Kirby art, “Artist’s Editions” are the next best thing, and IDW has released two Jack Kirby ones featuring the Fantastic Four this year. The first one came out in…"
Luke Blanchard replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"Here are three items from Win a Prize Comics #1 and #2 (Charlton, 1955). I've put the story from #2 first because it's a better introduction to Uncle Giveaway. I've made the thumbnails small to hide the story's twist ending. Try…"
Luke Blanchard replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"This is a story from Black Cat #30 (Harvey, 1951). The GCD doesn't record Kirby has having contributed to it, but I think he must've. His style is particularly apparent on the last two pages.
The catch is the story reminds me of…"
Richard Willis replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"Since Big Bang Theory (which I love) is a Warner Bros show, you will never see anything but DC books, statues, etc."
Jeff of Earth-J replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"I was watching a rerun of The Big Bang Theory on TV last night and spotted the four JK "Fourth World" HC collections on the shelf in Sheldon's bedroom. Kirby had hoped to see his work collected in such a format some day, but I'll…"
Luke Blanchard replied to 3's discussion Kirby Centennial"It's my pleasure, 3. Here's a story in the teen humour genre: "Toby and His Band" in "The Mystery Crooner!", from Punch and Judy Comics v.2 #12 (Hillman, 1947). It was the feature's only appearance. Scans from…"
