So yeah, somehow I don't think Ditko would have felt honored, but it's nice to see some gesture...  -M |

A Disney Legend? Because Disney bought the company he once worked for years after he left it? Not seeing the logic there, or am I missing something?

They did the same with Kirby a year or two ago is the lead up to the Eternals movie. There's a slate of peole being honored in the ceremony (hosted by Ryan Seacrest) including Harrison Ford, Miley Cyrus, John Williams, Frank Oz and others  -M |

In the spirit of our Classic Cover Contest topic this week, it's not a real comic, but one I wish was...  -M |

The Phantom's superhero-stye costume has always felt incongruous to the jungle adventure setting to me.

I just happened to notice that D. Bruce Berry--pretty much known only as Jack Kirby's inker/letter following Mike Royer in the mid 1970's--preceded Kirby's return to Captain America by one issue, inking Frank Robbins' final issue, #191. This and an ink job over Herb Trimpe on a Killraven story the same month appear to be his only mainstream comics credits outside of his work for Kirby. I wonder if it was some kind of on-boarding exercise to prepare him for working in the Marvel corporate system. (He would proceed to work on some of Kirby's Captain America stories, although Frank Giacoia would become the book's most consistent Kirby inker.)

Welllllll......that would be down to Ray Moore; but, he was adapting a medieval executioner's costume. Similar ones were also used for jailers in Flash Gordon. Flash did a lot to define superhero couture, too. |
