This opening page made a huge impression on me as a 10-year old comic collector and aspiring artist. I look at it today as classic Kirby, with all the power and energy intact. Thank you, what a great trip in back my memories and a fun second impression today.
Memories like this what makes Kirby's vision so strong. Though this is the first page that left an impression there will be many more added from this book added to the gallery in the future. This will include the beautiful cover with the Red Skull's head before it was retouched for publication...stay tuned.
i was always puzzled by the triangle on cap's back, right above his head. I guess i should have consulted the comic for reference earlier, but now its clear that its the top of the star on his back. I kinda got into thinking it was Shores' attempted to make the line of his back straight, rather than the little dimple between his two shoulders. And its funny; whenever I look at it now, I see the star!
