They have been publishing comics about creators for a while. That's what Marvel Spotlight is for.

I know, I buy Marvel Spotlight. ;)

But this is one book on one guy. If Romita gets one Kirby definitely better get one. ;)

JRjr has been at Marvel exclusively his whole career.

That's why he's being celebrated.


Plus Kirby is dead so it would be a bit pointless.

Exclusivity typically does not prevent creator owned work, which is what Greay Area was.
