OMAC 2


The classic "Kirby Nine-Pins", from my OMAC story in SOLO #3, from DC Comics.

Got Kirby on the brain.

But it's a professional obsession which makes it justifiable, I guess. I'm finishing a 12 pg. Fantastic Four story for the upcoming FF anniversary issue this week. Teenage Human Torch vs. teenage Spider-man, corny jokes and all.

The deadline-hairshirt, the old story. Coffee, poor sleep, tired drawing hand, eraser shavings.

What a blast.

Among the top flight artists to have come after Kirby, and there are many talented ones to have walked a mile in that muddy trench, I think Tony Salmons is the one who 'groks' Kirby the best.
