I’d thought enough time had passed that I could forgive Jack Kirby. But I just learned I was wrong.

I was on staff at Marvel Comics in the mid-’70s when the King returned and tried to pick up where he’d left off. At the time, as I sat there in the Bullpen with my blue pencil and proofread the original art for some of his initial issues of titles

One might say of Kirby's solo run, "Pearls before Swine." :)

That sounds to me as if you LIKED Kirby's solo run on Captain America. Am I reading you right?

Lesee, Kirby's solo run was around 1975 or 1976, if I remember correctly

One thing I didn't like was that The Twelve (which was supposed to be a twelve-issue mini-series) turned out to be only eight issues.

C'mon JMS! Not another dime from me until you complete this mini-series. Eight is not enough.
