I was reading the marvel timeline in the bookstore and it truly is amazing all the ideas that were generated in that decade. I was always a kirby/lee fanboy but my god, then kirby goes off to create the fourth world....
if you study art you would see a strong resemblance and mixture of meso american mythology and characters like Galactus and the new gods.
Originally posted by Galan007Galactus appears to be based on the cosmic giant in Mesheeka mythology who ate the sun/stars each night and was a personification of death and a blackhole as the Mesheeka ppl understood it as.
👆As did Galactus, it would seem.
believe me, Jack Kirby stole a lot of ideas from the Mesheeka ppl/mythology.
including the head dresses/helmets that characters like Galactus wear.

Clearly this "Moeesha" tribe stole their religion from Kirby's work. 👇
this isnt even remotely arguable.
Jack Kirby was heavily influenced by the Mesheeka mythology. if you take into account of cultural context of the time of Jack Kirby you would know it was during the time that Erich von Daniken was running around talking about space gods and focusing on the Meso American mythology.

Everything is influenced by something before it, welcome to comics

did you know the word bubble in comics also came from early meso american art drawn by the nahuatl people?
before then white european people used banners and slogans in wood itching and artwork instead.
