Each story opens with a prologue, something Kirby used in later stories he wrote himself in the 1970s. There are other traits as well, but I'm fairly certain that Kirby initially wrote his own stories at Atlas, and many early ones when he returned in 1959. Sometime later he began working over Leiber scripts, although how much he may have changed in the pencil stage is undetermined.

When you're finally done, might I suggest restructuring it as a standalone piece with its own web address? Keep up the good work... Fascinating stuff!
