A page from X-MEN #39 by Don Heck and Vince Colletta
A page from THOR #141 by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta.
Almost all of Kirby’s border notes remain:
THOR IS ALMOST BRAINED BY SPEED AND FORCE OF THROWN CORNICE.
HE SPOTS REPLICUS BELOW AND HURLS HIMSELF LIKE A MISSILE WITH DEADLY ACCURACY AT OPPONENT—ROCKING HIM
THOR PUTS STRENGTH BEHIND BLOW—FOR FIRST TIME REPLICUS MEETS FORCE EQUAL TO HIS. HE’S HURLED TO STREET BELOW
THOR FOLLOWS UP WITH HAMMER TO STUN AND DISARM HIS ADVERSARY
A page from FANTASTIC FOUR #41 by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta.
A few of Kirby’s border notes remain:
WE ALL TOOK A BEATING—HE’S OKAY
IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO BEN—
I’M SURE HE’LL BE BACK SOON
I KINDA MISS THE BUM
Some pretty crude inking here, but not as crude as Vince’s stuff got on this strip.
The cover to THOR #148 by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta, with a bunch of reworking from John Romita. Romita redid almost the entirety of the Thor figure, and presumably oversaw statting the shots of the heroes and moving them up to make room for the bottom banner.
Border notes from production include:
VINNIE - MONDAY, PLEASE
“THE CLAWS OF THE PANTHER” “CHAOS” (These seem to be notes for some other cover)
STAT AND MOVE UP AFTER INKS
50% SOAKED FOR COLOR
Cover to THOR #149 by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta.
Three production notes remain:
“WHEN FALLS A HERO”
VIN - DUE 9/5
FIX - PUT ARM IN - MOVE TO LEFT
Comparison of the printed cover to DAREDEVIL #3 by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta to the unaltered version as it was drawn. Some minor details have been changed, such as the trap door in the floor.
