Description

Now - THIS is a Kirby page with some spectacular shape of panels..!
Comparing the pages from the first 10 issues of Machine Man, this is the only page with these oblique panels I have been able to find.
Only the first panel with Machine Man is a “normal” square panel.
Maybe because of the active and dramatic storytelling and the sensational press release of the disappearance of Machine Man, Kirby chose to draw the panels quite differently..?
Well - just my guess..
Maybe you have another point of view - or explanation ?
Would be interesting to hear others opinions about this page though.

The puzzle piece approach mirrors the different responses to a single phenomenon?
