This show takes a look at the specific instances where Marvel and DC Comics editors each had artists erase and redraw Jack Kirby's artwork for publication. Despite both publishers using Jack Kirby's name to advertise to fans, editors like Stan Lee and Carmine Infantino would have staff artists redo pages before print, without consulting Kirby. This has examples of this nearly lost media as well as quotes from Jack Kirby and those closest to him about how he felt. From Captain America to Thor to Superman and back again, a lot of Jack's art has been changed and probably gone forever.
