strejdaking asked:
Do you think the revaluation that Kirby's 70's output has got (at least his DC stuff) is deserved? Poor guy was considered a joke by the time he returned to Marvel.
I know very little about Jack Kirby beyond him being an awesome human being and generally what characters he created! So I am not equipped for this question, sorry!
