Wasn't that in the Bernie Wrightson "A Look Back" book?

Kirby was also a master of What To Leave Out

'Less is more' and KISS (keep it simple, stupid) are two lessons that are seemingly lost on today's hotshots <g>.

I think  he means the Barry Windsor Smith anecdote was mentioned in a book by Bernie Wrightson...either that, or Wrightson wrote another book about reading minds on the Internet!

As I recall, it was Berni* Wrightson, a King Kull story, and when Berni, who used the absence of color to indicate silence (and explained this when he turned in the job), saw the printed comic with full color everywhere, he complained to editor Roy Thomas and was told, more-or-less, "This is color comics; we can't have pages in black-and-white, so we gave it to someone to color".  That's why Berni never did another King Kull story.  

 

 

*Back when he spelled it this way; now, of course, it's "Bernie".

Oh, hell -- it's #666!
