MasterBuilder posted:I can appreciate the Kirby style especially the splash or spread pages but it's the connecting panels that turn me off. It's hard to articulate why it doesn't captivate me but to each their own. I think that's a fair criticism of Kirby, though there are lots of exceptions to that. Hulk #1 has this amazing transition from Banner screaming as the gamma bomb hits to the exact same expression as he's in the hospital. The thing is, Kirby was a golden age comic book artist and a lot of the art then worked more as book illustrations rather than sequential art. Again, there's some pretty huge exceptions, but that's Kirby's starting point. The artists who grew up on that are the ones who started really working on panel structure and flow. Kirby reinvented himself multiple times before age finally slowed him down. Part of that was integrating some of those techniques. But Kirby was also tended to be rigidly formal with his page layouts, probably a habit formed in the days when he was penciling 120 pages a month.
