If we go by first appearance (as we normally would), the case is clear: Kirby doesn‘t get a co-creator credit for Dionysos, because he merely reused a (notably copyright-free) characterthat had been used by Timely before. That would seems to make sense unless we try to apply the same principle to the Asgardians: By the same reasoning, the creator credit goes to Stan Lee and Werner Roth, Lieber and Kirby get dropped. Which in the case of the Asgardians is simply ridiculous - of course Kirby‘s vision created and coined the Asgardians for decades to come. But he couldn‘t have been unaware of the earlier issues where the Asgardians appeared. What to do? Put up a notes section as well? And list both eras mayb (similarly to first appearances of those pages)?
