  3. As a kid, I cherished the early Marvel books for the stories. As an adult, I cherish them for the art and perhaps that is why I find it easier to side with Kirby and Ditko in terms of history. Reading the early X-men books is almost painful in terms of dialogue. The one point that I won’t back down from though is that Jack was the idea guy who was well read in science fiction and Greek and Norse mythology. With the exception of Dr. Strange and possibly Spider-Man, these were 100% his concepts.
  4. It doesn’t require some big balls, just research and some common sense. Lee blatantly ripped off his artists in terms of creatorship. I’ll actually give him some writing credit since he butchered Jack’s original stories so badly that it is hard to tell what Kirby really wanted to say. FF 8 is the perfect example of this. “Read” it with out the dialogue and see how it plays out. Alicia was never intended to be blind for starters.
