A lot of e-mails this morning from Jack Kirby fans taking wild and informed guesses as to who inked the Orion figure on the cover of New Gods #1. The first five to get it right were (in order of time stamps on their messages), Joe Frank, Giles Lindley, Kurt Mitchell, Mark Daniel and Patrick Shaugnessy.
The correct answer is Don Heck but there's a little more to the story than that. I have to write my next column for The Jack Kirby Collector this weekend and I'll recount it all in there. I figure anyone who cares about this stuff has a subscription to that fine publication.
