 | | Kirby remained until the firm went out of business in 1938, then worked for the movie animation company Fleischer Studios as an "in-betweener", an artist who fills in the action between major-movement frames, on ''Popeye'' cartoons. |
 | | Kirby was often co-plotter of the stories he drew, in the style of the so-called Marvel Method, leading him to introduce elements not mentioned in Lee's scripts; in particular, Kirby is credited as having created the Silver Surfer, who was not mentioned in Lee's plot outline for the character's first appearance. |
 | | Kirby then returned to Marvel Comics where he both wrote and drew ''Captain America'' and created his last major comics concept with the series ''The Eternals'', which featured a race of inscrutable alien giants, The Celestials, whose behind-the-scenes intervention evolved life on Earth. |
