Kong/Kirby Konnection

[Mr. Palmer]

I just stumbled across this on a 1976 King Kong fansite, and immediately thought some on those forum might find it interesting: Kong/Kirby Konnection (http://www.pulpanddagger.com/canuck/Kong_kirby.html)

Cool. I gotta admit it's not something that I'd have EVER noticed myself, but, yeah, i'm sure stuck with it now. Actually, what I'm stuck with now is an entire imaginary Kirby Kong comic swimming around in my head. How cool would that have been?

[Mr. Palmer]

I think it'd have been cool to see Kirby adapt the film. I'm trying to imagine what his Jeff - who was as hairy as Kong in the film - Bridges, or Jessica Lange, would have looked like...

It seems to me Kirby did a tribute to King Kong in an issue of Kamandi.

I had a subscription to Kamandi then, and I remember the cover of ish 7.

But I don't recall the story.http://www.comics.org/coverview.lasso?id=26397&zoom=4

Ah, joy! Just to let you know, Mr. Palmer. Inspired as I was by your Kong/Kirby Konnection, I've gone and started up a Movies 2 Comics thread over in the tv and film section. I thank you.

Joe: You're most welcome! :)
