(All-New Comics 009, 1944)
A series of facts:
-one of the things that Kirby was the King of was kid gang comics.
-Kirby often included in his work characters who were some degree of inspired by him: Brooklyn, Scrapper, the Thing, Terrible Turpin, etc. For the purposes of this bit we shall call them kirbies.
-the Boy Heroes, pictured above, are easily spotted as a knockoff of a Kirby kid gang, down to a attempt to mimic his art style, and Punchy, driving the motorcycle, is unmistakably a knockoff kirby.
Going forward, we shall keep watch for further knockoff kirbies. Stay tuned.
