You Don’t Know Jack!

But this guy does.  Happy Birthday Jack Kirby!

News From ME -News From ME.

Superman may be the most important character in Comic book history, but to my mind, Jack Kirby was the single most important creator ever to work in comics. His sense of design and ability to convey action were revolutionary. But quite possibly, even his amazing draftsmanship may have paled in comparison to his unparalleled imagination and vision.

If you are unfamiliar with his work, well actually that would be almost impossible since every movie based upon Marvel Comics characters has Jack Kirby’s designs as their core material. Stan Lee may have been the face of Marvel Comics, but Jack Kirby was the heart, soul, blood and guts. There can be no debate on this. Even Republicans and Democrats would come to agreement on the greatness of Jack “King” Kirby.
