By the 70s Kirby's art was shit.
But I have to give him his due as an influence. Along with Eisner, most of the language of comic book storytelling (the way pages were laid out, the use of dynamic foreshortening, the way action was delineated) came from Kirby.
But Nowie has a good point. You can't start a thread about comic book blasphemies and then get even mildly perturbed when someone points out problems with "the King."
