>How do you compare yourself to Kirby?

>Neal: I don’t. He’s a primitive, you know? Everything’s straight lines and curved lines and it’s all bulky and stuff but in the stuff that Jack Kirby leaves out are mountains of material. He just leaves it out because he just doesn’t care. I care too much and I’ll put it in. It’s still Jack Kirby. There’s nothing really about his characters that’s me except for anatomy and shading and these other things that a better artist does. But I’m not a better creator! I’m not a better writer, storywise. So I’m putting everything that I can get of Jack Kirby into it and I’m adding a little extra drawing. Big deal.
