| Didn’t realize Jack Kirby could get so facially expressive until I saw the Link Thorne: The Flying Fool splash page. |

| Kirby's style grew and evolved, more than many artists. This is what his style became in the early 5O's.
The Marvel Kirby you are familiar with, had a much more streamlined style.
Om CB+. there is much Kirby, check out his Crime, Romance and War books.

Janie, the owner's daughter, is very upset, knowing her father is a racketeer, but also curious as to why he is afraid of airplanes. When Kiska visits his analyist, he tells him that when he was younger, he saw a hairy walking tree (The Heap) near the wreck of a German plane. This causes Kiska to kill the psycholoanalyist, return to his factory, where Yost explains that he has found the Heap. Kiska goes crazy, shooting the pilot, who then shoots and kills Kiska. |

| Notes | Pencil credit revised by Craig Delich 2012-12-22. Unlike other stories, Peddy did not sign this story.....only Sachs, which leads me to add the question mark behind his name. Roy Thomas recently verified the Peddy pencil credit, so ? removed. |
