Wow!! Beautiful Kirby Page!! Great addition bud!!
The action might be a simple progression through panels, but it's overall effect is anything but simple. Packs a power of unlimted enthusiasm and daring that is only made possible by the confidence of a King!
A swipe, and a transformation! I really enjoy seeing swipes by the greats --- Kirby, Frazetta, Miller, etc. --- to see how they improved the action, design, anatomy, or whatever they excelled at. Kirby's punches really hit hard compared with the page that inspired it, for my taste. That Barram panel steals the show for me, in any case!
Adding a little onomatopoeia can improve any Cap punch. That BARRAM! sent the baddie straight thorough the wall! That is a fantastic Kirby action page. I can see why you broke your splashy style for this one, it's a sweet panel page. I dig how he used the panel structure to emphasize that last panel, going from 3 to 2 to 1 panel. Big congrats!
Killer Kirby page!
The King! Very happy for you Harry. Great page!
A very nice page, and a great catch on the Simon swipe
Great Kirby art!
Classic Kirby action. I will be back often to check out the fab Kirby art...along with your awe inspiring gallery.
