#JackedKirby - Jack Gets His Chance to Write and Draw with CREDIT... Sort Of... 💥💥💥 So towards the end of Jack’s run at Marvel in the early 70s Stan Lee stepped away from “writing” most of the books he had been helming for years and handed off many of the titles to new blood like Roy Thomas, Archie Goodwin and Gary Friedrich. He still was “writing” Spider-Man, Cap and a few others... but he was no longer the SOLE writer pumping out Marvel books. This was a perfect time for Jack to ask for some writing duties for stories he would be pencilling. He got that wish with Amazing Adventures #Issue1 (published in August of 1970) on an Inhumans story! (Pic 1) 💥💥💥 Now here is where it gets funny: Pic 2 shows the credit box for Amazing Adventures, which PROMINENTLY displays Stan Lee/Editor credit AHEAD of Jack’s writing/drawing credit!!! Even when they were giving Jack his proper credit and due... Stan somehow shoehorned himself a credit ahead of him! 💥💥💥 Need more proof: Also published that SAME MONTH (Aug of 1970) was Captain America #Issue128 and Pic 3 of this post shows the credit box for that as well. Stan, the writer on this book, is still top billing... but no mention of his Editor role. Why not? Why not say writer/editor? And if he DIDN’T edit it, who did and why weren’t they given similar credit? Same month... different credit protocol? Hmmmmm... weird, right? 💥💥💥 Finally Pic 4 of this post shows the credit box for Black Panther #Issue1 that came out after Jack’s return in 1975-76. You can clearly see Jack only came back under the auspices that he would write/draw and edit his books... so there couldn’t be any more funny business with the credits (or the money associated with each role!). Smart business practices... 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #AmazingAdventures #Inhumans #creditbox #credit #JobCredit #ProperRecognition #Editor #Writer #Artist #StanLee #RoyThomas #ArchieGoodwin #GaryFriedrich #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #Comic #ComicBook #Comics #ComicBooks #IGComics #ComicsOfIG https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lMoeyhjEd/?igshid=ses856i3voz7
