JMG added. My Kirby addition:
Plus The SILVER SURFER ENCOUNTERS THE CELESTIALS. Stuff like this just blows my mind. Jack was really one of them you know. Had to be.

AWESOME!!!! No one could do this like Jack.
Thanks for the headgear stuff too.
I read all the Demon stuff a couple of years ago. Fun, inventive stuff... and by his own admission the 'Weird Adventure' (horror tinged hero comics) wasn't really his thing. Who else would have the gall to invent a character named Baron Von Evilstien?
Jack Kirby that's who. He came up with ALL kinds of crazy things.....his drawing board was endless. I known a few who just DON'T like Kirby and I've never understood that.
If Jack Kirby fought Frank Frazetta, who would win?
That is good nerd speak Tom. Worthy of slipping into a Big Bang Theory at least.
It would be a tie but a fight to the death. And then some Kirby inspired cosmic force would have to unite their artistic spirit into a new entity. Fritz-Jack
Or Frankirby... or Jackzetta...
Great question, Tom. Frazetta is buff, but Kirby is scrappy and a proven warrior.
BTW, I always saw this as a tribute to Kirby (watch it all the way through):

Yes, I can see that. Dan Turpin's Wikipedia entry says that in the animated series he was modeled on Kirby.
Frazetta was eleven years younger than Kirby so I guess age is a factor in their fight, and whether it was bare fists or armed combat. Let's say they fought bare-knuckles in 1968. Frazetta is 40 and Kirby is 51. The paperback version of "Conan the Adventurer" has just been published. Kirby is at Marvel and at his artistic peak. Sounds like a Brush Pen Breakfast subject to me.
Hey, whaddya mean "nerd speak"?!
So good.
