Did Jack Kirby ever complain about Vince Colletta in an interview? Jack didn't seem shy about putting people on blast when he felt justified, but I can't recall seeing him talk about Vince's inking in an interview.

Having a physical place to sell original art has given me an excuse to think about my paintings as objects again! Today I am testing some wax medium as a way to seal gouache paintings on wood, so I can safely paint on cradled panels and sell the originals unframed, as treasures to be displayed.
