Always good to see Kirby appreciation, but this is only giving half the picture. Kirby’s great hat trick is that the first page would be a gorgeous splash page, with depth and color and grandeur that almost no one could match (only Ditko and Steranko at their peaks came close)… and then you’d turn the page and get the double splash, which built and amplified the single-page splash by an order of magnitude. And he’d do it every month.
