Sean Howe posted a moving Fred Hembeck strip today over at his Marvel Comics: The Untold Story Tumblr. It seems to have been originally published in 1986 on the occasion of Marvel’s 25th anniversary, but it’s still relevant 27 years later.

    It’s depicting Jack Kirby and his wife Roz showing up for Marvel’s 25th anniversary party and being shunned, a metaphor for his mistreatment by the company.
