My reason in posting this, was to show how little it has in common with Marvel's later Thor story (hammerswingpose notwithstanding) and I placed it in it's context of many many DC stories that did not lead to Marvel heroes. Instead it is seen as some sort of prove that Kirby took ideas and concepts from DC to Marvel and in some cases people even link it to his 'prototypes' of Dr. Doom and the like in the Marvel pre-hero stories. It is just this sort of importance of anecdotical evidence that I hoped to counter by showing there was not a pattern of this sort of thing. There are similarities, yes. But those in and of them self don't prove anything, however much we want it.Ger Apeldoornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633862833036214748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-59814978558095566752010-08-15T11:09:39.185-07:002010-08-15T11:09:39.185-07:00WOW! This very really cool & very interesting....WOW! This very really cool & very interesting.Imagine if National/DC had brought back the original Capt.Marvel/Shazam back in the 50's. With Jack "KING" Kirby at the helm! What a wasted opportunity! What might have been, if Jack hadn't went back to Timely/Atlas/Marvel Comics. Marvel Comics probably would have never been after 1960/61!Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25254614.post-30791830932834771482010-08-11T15:10:40.286-07:002010-08-11T15:10:40.286-07:00Wow, that's amazing how could I have gone for ...Wow, that's amazing how could I have gone for so many years in the comic world and not been aware of this.
