A QUESTION OVER KIRBY COLLAGES...


Copyright DC COMICS

Jack Kirby had a tendency to use collages in his comics pages every now and again, usually made from various photographs clipped from magazines and newspapers.  I remember seeing Thunderbird 2 in one of them and no doubt other copyrighted material was also utilised in this manner.  The question is, therefore, do you think it was right that Jack used other people's photographic material with no credit or financial remuneration going their way?  Sure, he may've been 'interpreting' those images in a creative way, but doesn't it still make him a bit of a 'rip-off' artist to some degree?  Feel free to comment, even if only to pour scorn on the very notion.
