Love just listening to anyone that wants to talk about Kirby’s amazing body of talent and work.

I never tire of watching you guys , thank you for the work you do to continue to promote the legacy of Jack.

In WHAT possible way might Kirby's `60s work be considered more polished than his `70s work?

I have more hair than Evavanier. Miss him. Used to see him at wondercon every year since 89' until the space alien agenda moved the con conspiratorial to Anaheim. 😝

I realize you don't want to alienate a collaborator and frequent contributor but I still have never seen an explanation from Evanier for why he used to routinely criticize Jack Kirby in the fan press (documented) before realizing or learning the Kirby family moved to the West Coast. It's as if he was an opportunist and now holds on to his perceived position as Kirby spokesman and expert- that's fine, but why was he trashing Kirby so much, enough that Roy Thomas alludes to it being an ongoing thing?
