I’ve been getting way into Jim Starlin lately. I can’t help comparing him to Jack Kirby in my head. Not because of the obvious debt Thanos owes to Darkseid (although I think the two are actually very distinct villains who are great in different ways, despite their similarities). It’s more the fact that Starlin swept into these Marvel books and filled them with his own richly textured cosmic mythology. A single Starlin issue, much like a Kirby book, is crammed full of new concepts and characters. Thanos is the big one, of course, but along with him came Mentor, Kronos, Eros (who didn’t become the creepiest Avenger until much later), Drax the Destroyer, Eon, and so forth. And it all interlocked, in the way that mythologies do. I was surprised to learn that Starlin didn’t actually create Adam Warlock or the first Marvel Captain Marvel, because it’s impossible to imagine what those characters would be without him. And then there’s his art (see above)- the experimental layouts and the positively enormous scope. It’s not that it resembles Kirby’s work; it’s that it seems to spring from a kindred creative spirit.
I have more to say about Starlin soon. I’m having a busy week.

In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn’t want to share… you know what they did? They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.
