How many of these recreated pages do you own Tom? Something like 2 dozens?
Did you play with the idea of publishing them nicely packaged with full sized Kirby's pencils next to the recreated art?
I have thought about a book with comparisons but it would be near impossible to publish. Assuming I could get permission from DC and Marvel, they would require a fee or percentage of sales. It probably would even break even.
The only other option is for a publishing company like IDW to pick it up but the audience is so small that it wouldn't be worth their while.
Beautiful! I wish it hadn't taken me so many years to finally get a copy of Joe's LIFE STORY OF THE BEATLES (Dell) comic from back in the heyday of Beatlemania. I got one about 20 years ago and then upgraded. Joe did all the art and the likenesses are amazing! A great example of how great an overall artist he is.
I'm curious how much help Joe had on the Beatles Issue. I've heard from folks like Mark Evanier that Joe didn't Pencil The old Journey Into Mystery's that he had credit for. I've heard that he farmed it out and then Inked it.
This is pretty much the way a lot of older Strip and Comic Artists worked. A lot of them considered the final line on the page to be the Important part. And no matter the Pencils, they would transform the Art into their own.
Double dream teams !
I like it when Mr Sinnott's inking is so faithful to Kirby's pencils.
Joltin' Joe
Geez, I've seen lots of artists' work decline over the years, but man, Joe's stuff seems to have gotten tighter and slicker!
Really Sharp!!!
Nice Joe!!!!
Erik! Put a link to your cool version of this that you did for John Morrow!
Re: Really Sharp
Erik if you can send me or if you have the original I can scan, I'd love to add this to the creations section...just saying.
Remind me when you're around and I'll bring it along.
John Morrow used it as a Jack Kirby Collector cover. I'm no Joe Sinnott.
Not your regular Joe…
… but a pretty good job!

Ain't it sweet to play along with the King?

Re: Recreation is fun
I've commissioned 31 creations and 6 recreations.
