which has some delicious irony since it is about a "One Man Army Corps".
Kirby worked with Stan Lee and some others at Marvel comics to develop the characters and settings that set the foundation for Marvel being... Marvel. Kirby was kinda resentful that Stan Lee hogged the credits for the work. Particularly Stan Lee had a writing credit for all of the books he was involved in, but "writing" includes both planning the scenario and choosing individual words and the illustrators had a lot of input into the scenario.
Looking at OMAC you see Kirby do a really heroic job. The scenario planning is excellent and the writing at the sentence level is fine, but you can see that Lee had a special touch for that which Kirby didn't have.
Serpe colored the whole comic’s run. In issue 2, D. Bruce Berry took over the inks; in 3 he took over the letters as well. This continued until the final issue (8), which was inked and lettered by Royer. And the final panel was “rewritten and redrawn by someone other than Kirby” due to the series being cancelled.
I have seen a lot of Kirby’s pencils (even inked over one of his pages as an exercise) and most of the comic is there in them, but there is a huge difference between them and an inked/colored/lettered page.
