Inker: George Perez
Interesting information:
“The concept itself saw Topps lease Kirby’s name alongside the characters, and saw the line referred to as “The Kirbyverse”. All the characters resided in the same shared universe, and the deal also presented the final time that Kirby had complete creative control over any of the many properties that he had created in his career. It was initially seen as a creative and financial failure. The line consisted of leftover concepts Kirby had developed years prior, and generated low sales and minimal reader interest, finding a niche only with hard-core Kirby [and Steve Ditko] fans” – From Kirby King of Comics Book
