I never did understand how Wakandans would be content with their ruler basically leaving the country indefinitely while taking on other responsibilities with the Avengers. How's <i>that</i> for dedication? Was he just expecting to be able to pick things up where he left off, finding everything just as he left it? (Assuming he ever decided to return?)<br /><br />A very nice review of the various elements of the story, as well as the work of McGregor and Buckler.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-22457616902347339242015-11-26T12:58:41.949+00:002015-11-26T12:58:41.949+00:00Well, Steve I reckon a co-writer would just have r...Well, Steve I reckon a co-writer would just have reined Kirby in, so I can't agree with you there.<br />But I do like your idea of McGregor as the anti-Kirby; it reminded me of how much Kamandi is like (and at the same time unlike) Killraven.<br /><br />Btw, have you read McGregor's later Panthers Quest? It appeared in shorter episodes at the end of the 80s, so his writing is a bit tighter (well, relatively!). And the artwork is by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer, so obviously it looks fantastic.<br /><br />-sean<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-13982037813677200022015-11-26T08:52:25.256+00:002015-11-26T08:52:25.256+00:00Sean, that Solomon's Frog issue has some good ...Sean, that Solomon's Frog issue has some good artwork in it but I do wish Kirby had been willing to work with a writer, instead of trying to do it all himself.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-86165373802885047962015-11-26T04:27:56.851+00:002015-11-26T04:27:56.851+00:00What, no mention of Klaus Janson, Steve?
I would s...What, no mention of Klaus Janson, Steve?<br />I would suggest his inks are probably responsible for the improved quality of Buckler's artwork (you can see the effect more clearly in the original run of Deathlok, when Janson started inking halfway through the series and suddenly it looked soooo much better)<br /><br />Otherwise... I absolutely loved the Panthers Rage stuff at the time, and agree with pretty much everything you wrote here.<br />Although following the widget to other posts I might like - which ARE actually related for a change - I differ on the merits of Kirby's Panther series. How can you not love King Solomon's Frog and all that?<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
