      Pretty sharp. I'm guessing in honor of his 100th birthday.

            ^That's Timm?!

            Yeesh....I thought it was Pak or someone who doesn't work in the Kirby style.

              Timm does Kirby better than just about anyone. That is all kinds of gorgeous, and homages one of my favorite Kirby covers. Don Rickles!!!

                It's a photoshop mashup. Front is a tracing. Faces are Timm's. Thor and Kamandi are reversed duplicates...I want to say the bodies are from Mister Fantastic.

                  ^I'd say that's all Timm apeing Kirby. He's a master at it. Also looks like his painting/marker style.

                    Yeah that's the deal. Kirby died in 1994 , he was 76. I collected and enjoyed Kirby's work in my late teens early 20's I haven't had that level of appreciation of him for a while, but his work on FF in issues #70-102 deserve some revisiting. Most view that as him full filling his time and phoning it in. I don't believe that's a fair judgement.
