This provides interesting input on your question of how much writing Jack Kirby did on these stories. This story is so completely "DC-style" from beginning to end: one scene per panel, each scene explained by a long caption, a simple and rather obvious "bad-guy-gets-his" theme...and particularly the way it downplays action in favor of moving the plot forward. Almost the opposite of the typical Lee-Kirby monster epic.
Where the heck do these Chinese proverb postings come from? Is there some sort of spam generator that sends words of wisdom to the far corners of the world? I've been getting a lot of them on a couple of my blog postings.
To quote Zaphod Beeblebrox, I need aphorisms like I need holes in my heads.
I don't know where those Chinese characters come from. But now they are gone. As am I . I am not here. I am on holiday. I am not checking my posts daily.
I am slowly selling my comics, cartoon and newspaper collection on Ebay. In short, when I am done scanning them and they are on the blog, I no longer need to keep the original paper. If you want to go and have a look what I have on sale now, please go to http://www.ebay.com/sch/gerapeldoorn/m.html?item=152381924308&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562. Prices are low and I combine for shipping.

I have been doing this blog for over ten years now. I find more and more that it is used by comic book, newspaper strip and cartoon historians as a tool for their research or additional illustrations. And I encourage that. I have larger uncleaned scans for all self scanned images on this blog for those want to use it for their book or article. Just ask and we'll get something going. Family members of artists mentioned here or anyone who is interested in donating scans is encouraged to make contact. By the way, the quickest way to reach me these days is through Facebook.
I highly recommend
Getting any of these wonderful books will help me fund this page.
I am a Dutch television writer, who has written about comics and television for a number of publications here in Holland and in the US. I love hearing from (forgotten) artists and/or their relatives, so if you are one of those and happen upon this blog, please leave a note.

At least, that's the plan.
