| "Oswald" is a great story. The artwork is great as well. |
|
| Have to wonder if Jack Kirby had seen this cover or if Ogden Whitney had seen this image before somewhere. I think Kirby may have used it more than once.
I have never forgotten the cover of Uncanny X-men #11 where Kirby introduced 'the Stranger' drawing him casually walking down a street about one story up in the air. Simple but powerful.
I can still see it in my mind's eye. |
