I started a big mess in general, but I feel like it called for something in OA.

Post your art by The King!

Both are Kirby - sorry for your confusion.

Likewise.  Has something changed since HA explained that the extent of Jack's involvement with this piece is unknown?

Yes! - I spoke to and showed this piece to Mark Evanier (for you who don’t know him - long time friend and historian of Jack Kirby)

And he said he remembered Jack working on this exact piece and it was when his health was ailing him and he had help with it. He said it’s around 70% by Jack.

It really just confirms the last article written on this piece on the Kirby Museum website.

And BTW that write up done by HA was done at the request of the consignor at that time.

There was allegedly a lot of "suspicious stuff" that went on with some of those "specialty" pieces - hell, even the signature has to be questioned.  Personally I wouldn't touch one but maybe that's just me...

Yeah those Sotheby’s pieces can be suspicious because they are so mechanical - no life in them. So hard to tell with those recreations.

The Silver Surfer pencils here were done way before that time and actually used to hang in Jack Kirbys home. So not to be confused with the different times and pieces.

But didn't Evanier say above that the Surfer piece was "around 70% by Jack"?
