I've read accounts from Mark Evanier, either in his book or in The Jack Kirby Collector, where Evanier says that Kirby tried and tried to negotiate with Marvel prior to his leaving the company in 1970. So it's plainly incorrect for anyone to say that Kirby simply left Marvel in a huff without so much as a goodbye. Evanier is on this board, he can correct me if I'm wrong.
