Finally got around to watching "Black Panther" last night. As a fan of the original Jack Kirby story, my feelings are… mixed. Loved some of the imagery, but thought there was quite a bit of over-the-top that could have been toned back some. Did I mention I have a copy of the original "Fantastic Four" issue where the Black Panther debuted?
It's great fun to see the comics I read when I was a kid being made into movies. I thought the Fantastic Four movies and Dr Strange were good efforts, looking forward to Captain Marvel now.
Love Kirby's work, I appreciate it even more now than when I was young. Some of the large panels he did were awesome. Another favourite back then was John Buscema, especially the black&white Conan books. One day I'll get 'round to buying some Marvel re-prints in colour, I don't have any old comics left. Would be great if they were large size too, not sure what's available just now.

Is this before or after a few drinks?
