More on Kirbys side, I'd imagine, since the sheer VOLUME of Easter Island imagery kinda indicates he got in a Easter Island TEAR, much like his overkill on Japanese style monsters of the Godzilla era craze( FIN FANG FOOM , anyone?)--that guy was a modern day genius so, of course, he got totally TAKEN by every comic company he ever worked for. I know WAY too much about comics for an adult.......
