I liked Royer better than Berry. I liked that Giacoia also inked Kirby’s Cap in the ’60s. However, I think both Berry and Royer were Kirby’s choices and Giacoia and Verpoorten wre Marvel’s choices.

I liked Royer early on, but as time went on, I thought the workload just became to much for him. Ideally, there should have been a different inker for each book Kirby did – just to keep up with the pace.

D. Bruce Berry’s work appeared in fanzines in the late 1960s-early 1970s. I believe he did a story for Graphic Story Magazine and probably others as well.

I liked Giacoia’s work over Kirby as well, although there Giacoia is incorrectly listed as inker on a few Cap’s that were either partially inked by him or inked by John Verpoorten (off the top of my head I think its Cap 207-208).

I’ve never been a big fan of either Royer or Berry over Kirby. I would have liked to have seen some of the “kids” of that period inking Kirby, particularly Steve Leialoha, Klaus Janson or Terry Austin.

Hello there!! I’m a big fan of King’s work from Chile (look for a map of South America, we are right next to Argentina) and a comic writer and artist in a fanzine called “Futuro Comics” in which I try to recreate Kirby style mixing it with my other influences.

I liked Giacoia on Kirby, too. I never really figured out where Bruce Berry came from. He didn’t seem to have any sort of comics background whatsoever. The interview he did in “The Kirby Collector” didn’t really shed any light on how he wound up with the job, either.

I just finished Kirby’s Madbomb trade. I hadn’t read it since I was a kid! Great,underrated and wild stuff! Giacoia was a fine inker for Kirby as well!
