And as Richard notes, it will be interesting to see if the Kirby and Kane book includes more about the timing and details of both comic projects.

I have no inside info to suggest which story is accurate, but someone who was actually a participant in the proceedings has to be given some weight. Either way, I'd bet a great deal Kirby never saw the other attempt before or after doing his own.<br /><br />While I'm a big fan of Englehart's work it's no secret I'm an even bigger fan of Kirby, and I think Jack does a better job of capturing the tone of the original series in his adaptation.
