Paul, come on!
You didn’t include a single Kirby panel?

Find me a good Kirby panel where they say “Avengers Assemble,” and I’ll add it! I’m certainly not allergic to Kirby here. Jack left Avengers after #8 and the first utterance of “Avengers Assemble” was in #10.
Kirby did do layouts for later issues, but the pencils were by Don Heck. If that counts as Kirby … then one of these panels probably already represents his work!
(Best bet for finding a Kirby Avengers Assemble is probably a later cover … but again, this is a PANEL Gallery).
But find one and I’ll add it. Can’t have too much Kirby.

All lovely, but none of them say Avengers Assemble!
(I wonder if they finally say it in this new movie?)

A cover is a panel on… cover!

That’s a good one, but our Russian judge says it is not a panel and thus does not qualify!

Here are The Avengers, created by Kirby (with some words and balloons placement by Stan Lee).
