I've always thought George Bell's inking over Kirby's work was a great tragedy and I wish there was a way for Marvel (or someone) to find the budget to do all those pages justice again. And as much as I defend Colletta's Forth World inking of Kirby's art, I'd also love to see a capable inker re-do all those early Kirby/Colletta Thors. So Tom Kraft recreated Kirby's pencils?? He's pretty damn phenomenal from what I can see!
George Roussos'/George Bell's inking jobs are a travesty. Fantastic Four issues 21 - 27 ARE UNREADABLE. He literally ignored Jack Kirby's pencils and re-did much of the art.
I'm not the biggest fan of Roussous' Inking on Jack... but it certainly wasn't a "travesty." And actually, as much as I love Joe's work... this is just a little too "round" for me. I'd love to see Walt Simonson Ink this. I bet it would be amazing!
I'm curious who did the "Created Pencils" on this?
(Oops, sorry Tom. I didn't see your Pencil Credit over there on the Left. My bad... Nice job, too!)
Here's a fun Surfer that I Inked over a blueline of Jack's Pencils. It's okee... not too bad:
Here's a bigger one. Keep in mind that this was done for an Inking WorkShop... and then finished at Comiccon when someone wanted to buy it... It's not completely up to snap... but it's okee, considering.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.

Outrageous.
Ringing a Bell
Yes, Bell butchered Kirby's pencils but I get the same kind of feeling from Colletta.
Na...

Cosmic size
A bit too small sized Al, can't get a good look at your surfer.
Hey Krackles!
Here's a bigger one. Keep in mind that this was done for an Inking WorkShop... and then finished at Comiccon when someone wanted to buy it... It's not completely up to snap... but it's okee, considering.

Twist and Tweak
Nice. Not just the regular squiggles, you took a twist on them.
By the way, where did you get the pencils from, the Jack Kirby Collector?
