“So many swipes….” Indeed. From Garfield– the Laziest Legionnaire –to Drulliet’s Lone Sloane, to the infamous Creation of Adam double-page spread in the Great Darkness Saga, to the Last Supper of super-villains in the ’84 Legion…. It’s hard to keep up. I don’t even know what / if he swiped for Omega Men, or his Dr. Fate stories, or The March Hare, or Video Jack. All I know is his recent stuff gets Kirby’s compositions, dynamism & texture(!!!) like no other King-mimic.

It’s weird that he’s ended up back at Kirby, considering how much some of his early-ish work (Defenders, particularly) lifts from the King. I wonder if he’s cycling through his influences…?
