As a kid, I didn't really "see" the Kirby dots as negative space, but as something that was part of the energy itself. Likewise, I saw Thor as wearing yellow boots with black tiger stripes and not black boots with yellow straps. But, as I got older and actually looked at and studied art and learned about negative space, I realized what I had been mis-translating as a kid. It surprises me though how many professional comic artists don't get it, how often we see Kirby dots used as being little globs of energy instead of as being the defining boundaries of the edges of the energy.

Personally, I never even noticed the Kirby "dots" as dots. I just always saw the energy.

Reminds me of an episode of MYTHBUSTERS, where they showed that the blast from a commercial jetliner could actually flip and roll a small civilian plane.

I think that young lady would be losing more than her hat!!

This is Colossus to me:

Antonio, I believe that issue was my first John Byrne comic, and that panel
of the story is among the most memorable.

@Wallace

I used to dream about a Colossus solo book, scripted and drawed by JB. I have to settle for the occasional commission.

Miniseries, maybe. Not sure our Peter could carry an ongoing, solo.

That's what I later come to realize. But I surely would love to see that miniseries, Mr. Byrne!

That Cooke panel makes me think of the film "True Lies", when Ahhhhnld kisses Jaime Lee as the rush of wind from a mushroom cloud tussles their hair.  I'm thinking the next scene should be:  "Three months later, in the cancer ward..."

One of the best early summations of the Hulk's character.

Lovingly reimagined/produced by Steve Rude in THE INCREDIBLE HULK VS SUPERMAN (script by Roger Stern, inked by Al Milgrom.)
