Lee learnt a great deal from artists like Kirby, as well as artists who learnt from Kirby. Every comic book artist learnt from Kirby.
Kirby was one of … Kirby was one of the greats no doubt, but to say everyone who puts a pencil to paper was influenced by Kirby in some way is a bit of a stretch.

But I just think Jim’s style is seperate from Kirby’s to more of a degree then someone like Bruce Timm.
But Lee learned … But Lee learned from Kirby. Any artist who says they did not learn from Kirby is lying. It’s like an Anime or Manga artists saying they never learnt anything from Osamu Tezuka.
