The Kirby lawyers tried to muddy this up, but Kirby wasn't sitting at home drawing 20 pages on spec, hoping that Marvel would purchase them and use them in one of their books. Kirby was working on, say, Fantastic Four #35, which he had been assigned to do. Now, as art director Stan might have Jack redo a couple of panels, or even the occasional page. He had the right to demand the completed work was up to snuff. But there was no question that Kirby was going to get paid for the assignment, or that it was an assignment in the first place. Kirby's risk was pretty limited.
