The pendulum has swung back the other way, and we’re now living in the comics age of “everything that Kirby does is great.”
I actually thought we'd been living in that age since the late eighties or so, when The Comics Journal sort of took up Kirby's cause - ironically, about the same time they started knocking on Will Eisner. I'm not a big fan of Kirby's later work either, because let's face it, it was pretty lousy. I do like Kamandi, but I have to admit it's more for its kitsch value than anything else. Anyone who thinks Kirby could do no wrong might benefit from sitting down with the complete 13-issue run of Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers.
