There are a few burning questions I have about his career -- for instance, is it true, in the early 70s, Marvel never paid ANY reprint money to Jack - even though they reprinted his stories in "Marvel's Greatest Comics" "Marvel Triple Action" "Marvel Spectacular" "Marvel treasury Editions" --etc... I mean, There must have been more work coming out of Marvel that was Kirby's, than the stuff he was producing at DC. WHich may be one reason why the fourth world books didn't do as well -- because at that point he was competing with himself, and we kids only had so much money... Also, I wonder if anyone can track down exactly what page rates were back then, and how good (or bad) a living comics artists made compared to other jobs? Anyway, GREAT blog!
