 •• It's fun and informative to see Kirby's pencils from that "middle period". We can see how little the inkers really had to do, yet, at the same time, we can also see how much a consummate inker like Sinnott brought to the job.

The whole drawing reeks of power and tension! And here is a photo of the two best guys on the Fantastic Four title Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott.

A good example of Jack Kirby's pencils.

I sometimes amazed at the unpublished artwork for comics covers that didn't make the grade for some reason. While I like the published version pretty well, I think that unpublished Sentry cover looks great. I know it's not always a question of the quality of the work, though.

I've never seen either of those before, Sue... they're beautiful! With his workload, how the #$%& did Kirby find the time to spot all those blacks? I didn't really recall noticing those occasional but patterned larger flame licks on the Torch in Sinnott's inked versions before,though they do seem to be there in some online samples. Maybe it's just a color vs. black and white thing.

When I started working at Marvel, there were people who immediately got on my case for the way I drew the Torch's flame trail. They insisted the plumes of fire should all slant toward the rear. But I pointed out that I took my interpretation straight from Kirby, as seen above.

iiii
I suspect that a cover that had characters with their backs facing the reader was more likely to get bounced by Stan.
I assume that's why the Avengers 37 cover by Heck was bounced in favor of Kane's.

It appears Kirby took a page from How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way. The actual head is very small for that stocky body. It allowed for a massive helmet (minus the wings) that is only a bit larger than the appropriate head. No worries. Based on your response I'm thinking you really meant something like this: It appears Kirby demonstrated one of the lessons from How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way. The actual head is very small for that stocky body. It allowed for a massive helmet (minus the wings) that is only a bit larger than the appropriate head.
