It wouldn't be a fair fight.  I've heard that Richie's father buys off the judges.

Well, maybe, but death is pretty definitive. I mean, I guess the judges could claim that Richie's death doesn't count due to a technicality, but he's still dead. 

Except that there is no death in the Marvel universe.  Nobody ever stays dead.  And as for the Harvey universe... with all of the ghosts, witches, devils, and medieval giants running around, I'm guessing there's not much dying (or staying dead) there either!  But-- still not a fair fight.  Wolvie's only 46 years old, while poor Richie went on Medicare a couple of years back.

Kirby also could not draw the same costume twice unless it was one of the main established characters.  Thats why odin for example always had different outfilts.  Here's Hela from Thor 150-in every single panle her outfit is different:
    

 

     

 

 

 

Maybe it was like rorschach's mask and changes to freak people out.

Also his dialogue may be goofy but I love it-think of it as poetry.

I interpret a lot of his over-the-top dialogue as bombastic metal lyrics.  As a metal fan, for me, that's a very strong positive.

You should have a look at Wayne Boring's even chunkier version of SA Superman.

 Oh Snap, Crackle and Pop! Ouch I didn't think about that

My step dad is a mechanic and had neck surgery, I'm sure he had to have an MRI, I'll have to ask if that was hard

I admit some of the DC guys could properly render ordinary things.  But super heroes should look extraordinary.  There is just no comparison.

Most silver age DC books were fairly consistent in terms of the art until Neal Adams and others started arriving in the mid to late 60’s. Now, when people compare the artwork between Marvel and DC, there’s a tendency I think to compare the seemingly static DC stuff to Kirby’s FF run from #48 onward or his Mangog saga in Thor. Thing is, all Kirby and all Marvel wasn’t created equally. That early Don Heck on Thor or Tuska’s Avengers was downright mediocre at best. Some of it looked like layouts, not finished work. I’ll take Swan over those two or Larry Lieber every time. And the Chic Stone inked early Kirby barely hinted at the Kirby/Sinnott stuff we came to marvel over later on. Apples to apples n all...
