It's sort of like early TV where they had to give people a lot of action - they didn't want to see people sitting around talking. <I>Seinfeld</I> would not have played well in 1950.<BR/><BR/>I have avoided anything <I>Eternals</I> not written by Jack. I had the misfortune of reading the conclusion of the story in the pages of <I>Thor</I> in the 80's. I'd love to know how Jack would have ended it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-53995649624151231302008-05-18T18:11:00.000+00:002008-05-18T18:11:00.000+00:00Ah yes, I remember Valerian.

In fact, in an interview, Neil himself joked that while he hoped and thought that Jack would have liked it, he would also have commented: "what's with all the people standing around talking!?" <BR/><BR/>There are some action pages, but I photographed those I thought were visually most interesting.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-68464965302258240002008-05-18T06:54:00.000+00:002008-05-18T06:54:00.000+00:00The art is reminiscent of Jean-Claude Mézières wor...The art is reminiscent of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Claude_M%C3%A9zi%C3%A8res" REL="nofollow">Jean-Claude Mézières</A> work in the French series <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val%C3%A9rian_and_Laureline" REL="nofollow">Valérian</A>.

You didn't get a lot of that in Kirby's work. His signature, it seems to me, was characters in chaotic, extreme motion. It does look like these guys may have the gargantuan backdrops down pretty well.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to know Kirby is still remembered, and still inspiring young artists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
