Dick Pontoon Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I like them both. Art Adams is a great artist and I'm a huge Kirby fan, as I believe Mr. Adams is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Cataldo Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 B, hands down. Loves me some AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) I'm a big Kirby fan as well, but Adams does some absolutely fantastic commission work, although too far outside of my price range. I also see clearer variety in the skin textures, and, he's come up with some great alternative poses for the characters. Happy to pick B.

Senormac Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) I think B is much more artistic as well. I bet AA sat down and thought about this job to make it really good, whereas Kirby probably squeezed it into his 12 covers and two full length stories a month work load . Just a guess though A. B.

I am on his list for Doc and Clea. Hopefully sometime soon as I am getting closer to death all the time. I vote B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess though And yet Kirby did more quality comic work than Art Adams would do if he lived three lifetimes. I have some fond memories of AA's work from the 80s but he's no King. There's only one King. Finhead and Senormac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) King Kirby was inconsistent, and this isn't one of his best. B is exceptionally-nice Arthur Adams artwork. Edited April 11, 2018 by Ken Aldred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B is exceptionally-nice Arthur Adams artwork. It's just that Kirby must have experienced times of weariness, from amount of work he produced, and instead of being able to rest and recuperate..... he had to get onto the next job. He is an amazing example. Edited April 17, 2018 by Senormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it looks like it's in mintier condition, lacking obvious creases and fading. Easy to get a nicer copy of item A. It's a print, not an actual comic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valiantman Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It depends on whether we're trying to sell this book to kids age 6 or kids age 16. A works for smaller kids B works for bigger kids (and fanboys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjMartini Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Definitely have to go with the Art Adams print (B). Definitely more detail to the characters, like a seeing a HD movie. However, I definitely have to give credit to King Kirby (there is only one) and this piece is nice, not great, but really nice. There is definitely better covers that were done by the King.

Aweandlorder Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I don't care for either really. Huge AAdams fan but his style changed tremendously throughout the years and not for the better in my opinion. If I had to own one I'll def go for the Kirby version because it's original and, well, cause it's Kirby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Hulk in B is in wind tunnel. Hulk does not look like that, even when Hulk is in wind tunnel. So Hulk is happy with B movie monsters (heh heh, Hulk make joke), but if art man should draw Hulk like that again, and try to disguise bad Hulk with good B movie monsters, then Hulk will smash!
