A terrific idea to pull these together like this. Marie once commented about how awkward she felt doing a prelim for Kirby.

Marie Severin did layouts for Kirby? Layouts that he followed pretty faithfully? I had no idea. Thanks for sharing the progression from prelim to published. It's an eye-opener!
