Years ago here, I put up a section called Incessantly Asked Questions in which I attempted to answer, once and for all, questions about comics and animation that I found myself answering over and over on the web. It worked pretty well for its purpose, which was to spare me answering the same question twenty times. Instead, I could just link questioners to the appropriate page. But somehow, I never got around to adding to the IAQ section as I'd planned.
Well, I just added a new (and very long) answer to a question I keep being asked on Facebook. It's about the unused cover that Jack Kirby drew for Thor #144 in 1967. People who see it seem to think that Jack sat down one day and made up a cover drawing, took it in to Stan Lee and Stan said, "No, that's lousy" and he rejected it so Jack wasn't paid. There's also a rumor that the inker refused to ink it because it was so complicated…and since they couldn't get it inked, they couldn't use it. Or something like that.
If you wanna know what really happened, here's the link to a new IAQ page. And if you come across someone else who wonders about that cover, please do us all a favor and link them to that page. I'll be adding a few more to the IAQ section in the future.
