As expounded on by Ferran Delgado on FB:

This is Starman Zero, Kirby's pitch produced at the end of the 40s. The creation, with visual design and character descriptions, was published in the tabloid sized "Jack Kirby Masterworks" at full page.

I also included the article by Jean Depelley & John Morrow from JKC #74 covering the subject which displayed the existing Sundays in pencil form, lettered but not inked. I read somewhere that Wood was entitled to ink them, many years before Sky Masters.

Came across this well loved Strange Tales at a vintage shop in Portland on Sunday. Kirby and Ditko inking cover with stories by both inside. The cover is definitely a bit chewed up, but the inside is nice and readable.

From @Krscomicbooks on Instagram: Figured this group would like this. It’s got 100% Kirby characters or ones that he did definitive work on. About a dozen of the patches were unique commissions. Took me about 3 years from start to finish collecting patches and finding an artist to hand sew them on. I still have a few more patches to add as well. Not much real estate left!

Stoked to find this well-loved cover at a vintage store in Portland, covers pretty beat up, but the inside is nice! Some amazing Kirby monsters, psychedelic panel use, and a clearly Fidel Castro inspired story,

People often cite the remarks done to The Comics Journal, where Kirby claimed he was the creator of the main Marvel characters, like a slip of the tongue pushed by Gary Groth and Roz, but in fact Kirby had been saying the same in many interviews along the decades.

In Comics Feature #34 (March, 1985) Kirby also claimed the creation of the monster stories, FF, Hulk, Thor, even HIS pitch of Spider-Man, finally discarded partially. His Blitzkrieg.

The best part in this interview conducted by James van Hise is that Kirby also vindicated the creation of Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

It's also interesting that, at last, a conducter compared Kirby's claims with the BS that appeared in the Origins books.
