True, but JRJR didn't really come into prominence until the early 80's when he worked on Iron Man and the X-Men. His early Iron Man work was fairly over-powered by Bob Layton's inks, and getting away to work with different inkers was probably the best thing in the long run (and don't get me wrong - I'm a big Bob Layton fan), and now his art barely resembles his early Iron Man work.

Cooke, Timm, Rude and Ron Frenz all come to mind are more recent artists with Kirby influences to their work, but I think JB and Perez (and maybe Walt Simonson) are more representative of the Marvel 'House Style' that Kirby (and John Buscema and John Romita) established in the 60's.
The early 70's brought a second generation of artists who generally had started as fans - Jim Starlin, Frank Brunner, Mike Ploog, Dave Cockrum, etc. - who worked along with a few established artists who had their own distinctive styles - Gene Colan, Tom Sutton, George Tuska, Gil Kane, Don Heck, Sal Buscema, et al.

You must be joking or you did confuse the 60's with the 70's ?

Is that a homage to JB above? The panel of "Origin of Nightwing", where Nightwing is facing the huge Monitor head.
Reminds me of the Wolverine face-down with the giant Watcher head in X-MEN 137.

As Chris Sims would say http://www.the-isb.com/
Conan kills the Super Skrull on the moon...
You are now freaking out.

---------
Doesn't the Super Skrull stretch? I didn't think you could "stab" him to death...?

Not sure of the context, but maybe the Skrull isn't used to the kind of lethal force of a well-timed short-sword. It's a WHAT IF? tale, so who knows.

That wasn't the Super-Skrull in the What If Story...that was a normal Skrull.

Kirby, Romita Sr. and J. Buscema pretty much defined how how the Marvel style would look in the 1960's. Is there really much to debate about that?
I think JB, Perez and Simonson told stories and showed action in a similar style to Kirby, Romita and Buscema.
I think it's pretty clear.

This one brings back a lot of memories !!! I liked JB (Jerry Bingham) stuff. What is he up to now ? Did he quit the comic industry ?
This issue was great ! Can anyone tell me the reason why the man inside the Titanium Man armor is so big ?

The Titanium man was originally a large man but in order to wear more powerful armor he was given some sort of medical treatment to increase his size. I don't think he was ever seen to be quite that large in other Iron Man. stories.
