From January 1956 to September 1958 15 issues of WORLD OF FANTASY were published.
They presented 90 stories by 49 artists.
Talents as diverse as Bernard Krigstein
Gene Colan
Mort Meskin
Manny Stallman
and future Kirby inker, Chris Rule
Early November 1958 WORLD OF FANTASY #16 shipped. It had the debut appearances in that title of three men that many credit with saving Marvel Comics and possibly the entire industry from extinction in the next decade.
Joe Sinnott, many fans' favorite Kirby inker.
Steve Ditko

If your New Year's resolution for 1958 was to buy every new comic with a cover by Kirby so far you would have had to buy 7 comics!
This is possibly Kirby's 350th cover.

If your New Year's resolution for 1956 was to buy every new comic with a cover by Kirby so far you would have had to buy only 6 comics!
This was the only war comic. Other than one western comic all the rest were romance covers.
