Warning: Thread Drift!!

For further proof of how important inkers are, feast your nostalgic eyes on this CBR story about a Marvel Annuals crossover that I suspect many of us read, with pencils for both Annuals by that Byrne guy (whatever happened to him?):

What's interesting about this thread is, ultimately, it makes me realise— even more— how great an artist Kirby was.

When I think Kirby I see the Sinnott version in my head, so that's my guy.

There appear to be a LOT of Kirby pencil
only pages around from both Marvel and DC.
Did Kirby request that inkers work on
overlays or were they copied before inked?

Adam Schulman. The article about the
annuals looks like something g that would
be fun to talk about. How about reposting
it as a new topic?

Hey Stephen, can you expound on your assumption? 

In later years Jack had a copier in his home. If I remember correctly, Neal had a job with a copier manufacturer, early in his working career, but perhaps it was someone else. Jack or Roz would copy the pages before sending them to the publisher.

I just re-read my post and it could be taken that I have first hand knowledge, but I don't.

While I'm sure there are a few Chic Stone
and God help us, Vince Colletta fans out
there.

I don't have a great eye for catching the subtleties of inks the way some of you do, but I think the Kirby/Colletta artwork on Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen is absolutely beautiful.
