The judge repeatedly referees to Kirby as producing artwork, never story, or characters, and that follows Lee's sworn testimony. Lee goes far beyond the early formative years in his comments. In one instance he says that he created Galactus alone without ever speaking to Kirby. Lee adds that prior statements he made in interviews and the Origins books which gave greater credit to Kirby as a co-creator were made only because he "wanted to make Jack feel good, like we were doing it together." I've seen some speculation that now that the copyright has been ruled on Marvel should go ahead and credit Kirby properly. Well according to Lee Kirby was nothing more than an illustrator, so Kirby is already properly credited...as an artist. Any suggestion to the contrary would be casting doubt on Lee's credibility. Not true.The only thing the judge decided was that Kirby performed work for hire. She never denied that Kirby was a co-creator, only that the characters he created were at Marvel's request and belong to Marvel.
