I can see your point about his inks giving Kirby's Thor work an "other-worldly" quality, but, in general, thought that he made Jack's art look somehow "dried out". Even felt that as a kid in the 1960's, reading them for the first time.<br /><br />Thanks for the fun poll.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239848943018711207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-32095114844780293792012-01-15T16:50:46.414-05:002012-01-15T16:50:46.414-05:00I didn't mean to suggest that DC was getting l...I didn't mean to suggest that DC was getting letters about it. I doubt that, but you're right taht the objections from Evanier and Sherman sure played a part, and I have to think their opinions did reflect some larger feeling about Colletta's effect on Kirby. <br /><br />I disagree with that assessment, by the way. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-46528498276170118382012-01-15T11:34:16.457-05:002012-01-15T11:34:16.457-05:00I don't think it's entirely accurate to sa...I don't think it's entirely accurate to say that Colletta was taken off Kirby's DC books because many people objected to him. His bad rep amongst certain sections of fandom didn't really come about 'til later. Rather, it was Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman who seem to have been the primary influence in getting Vince jettisoned.<br /><br />In fact, initially, there was a fair bit of resistance to Mike Royer taking over - it took some fans a while to accept him.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
