I suspect he rushed those pages out but I see telltale signs of his involvement. Very good catch Grant! I'll add the Everett possibility to the GCD and credit you.

There are four examples that I can recall of Verpoorten inking Kirby before he left for DC (two stories, one partial story and one cover) and they don’t appear to be a great fits. It was easy to distinguish Verpoorten in Thor 179. Don’t know about Tartag, as I don’t believe he is credited with inking Kirby until Kirby returned to Marvel, but Kirby was a different artist by that point.Grant Windsornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089733759263636022.post-47942395686532292992019-07-20T08:51:22.984-04:002019-07-20T08:51:22.984-04:00Grant, I agree with you it isn't all Klein and...Grant, I agree with you it isn't all Klein and your theory about why he didn't finish it seems reasonable. Doesn't look like Everett to me. Verpoorten, perhaps?

Thor 169 has always bugged me...that it’s inks are credited solely to George Klein. Pages 8-10 and 17-20 definitely do not look like Klein’s inks over Kirby. Honestly, they look like Bill Everett to me. I also have issues with pages 1, 6 and 7. I see brush strokes that more resemble Everett on those pages, though page 1 is kind of iffy. This, I believe, was Klein’s last comic prior to his death, so maybe he didn’t finish it? What do you think?Grant Windsornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089733759263636022.post-14325578900554478452013-03-03T00:53:11.868-05:002013-03-03T00:53:11.868-05:00stiKman and Steven,

Everett was a strong inker and there may be someone's pencils underneath but I'm still thinking Everett pencils.<br /><br />I agree that the Western Gunfighters theory is unlikely, but it was a place where filler material could have been used.

Thought so before I even embiggened the pages. Heavy Everett inks, though.<br /><br />As far as your WESTERN GUNFIGHTERS theory, weren't they pretty much dealing with set characters, new and reprint, with The Outlaw Kid NOT being one of them?Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089733759263636022.post-61306518625999727532013-02-24T10:36:42.006-05:002013-02-24T10:36:42.006-05:00Great find!
