Walt Simonson's appreciation and tribute to Kirby is also clear in much of his work, particularly in Simonson's THOR run ( issues 337-380 ).

As this comparison demonstrates:

THOR 126 (March 1966) art by Kirby/Colletta:

Among many other covers and panels, that are in clear homage to Kirby's run on JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY/THOR.
