(this page) Sometimes little needs to be said, as these power images will attest, from OMAC #1 (pencil art and finished cover, Sept. 1974) and Our Fighting Forces #151 (Oct. 1974; Jack hand-colored this stat of the finished cover). (next page) Page 13 pencils from Super Powers (1st series) #5 (Nov. 1984). Jack had Greg Theakston ink on overlays to preserve the pencil art. (page 16) Kirby knew war firsthand, and used that to good effect writing the “Losers” strip. Pencils to Our Fighting Forces #153 (Feb. 1975). (page 17) Early issues of Kamandi were often fairly copy-heavy, as Jack put a lot into his new concept. Pencils here are from #5 (April 1973). (page 18) Jack could fit the equivalent of two regular pages of action on one doublepage spread, with room left over for corny dialogue and sound effects! Pencils from Captain America #199 (July 1976). 14
