The Fourth World was the apoge...I concur with that. The Fourth World was the apogee of his skills. He was the height of style and power during that early 70's period and by the time he's leaving Marvel later in the decade you can begin to see a little of an edge coming off. By the time he returned to DC in the 80's his skills were diminished and it was painfully obvious. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-43367110637932642682017-08-11T21:24:26.331-04:002017-08-11T21:24:26.331-04:00You know, I understand the importance of the Silve...You know, I understand the importance of the Silver Age Kirby work - it did construct the Marvel Universe, after all. But I feel it was his 1970s work wherein the true artist came out and radiated with a strong drawing style and powerful stories that kept twisting his old concerns into newer, more interesting permutations. I'm starting to see with my reading the 4th World for the first time and now rereading the 1970s Marvel stuff that it was Kirby's DC work that was the great summit of all his accomplishments. That is just my perspective, and I have not at all read everything, but I'm starting to think the Silver Age work was there to pave the way for the even better work that was coming in the next decade.Rey Armenteroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280587122854524358noreply@blogger.com
