Jack “The King” Kirby

Posted on by

Today Jack “The King” Kirby would have been 94 years old.  It’s our loss that he’s no longer with us.  Yet, he created so many characters universes that we will always have plenty of his art/stories to enjoy.

When I was a kid, I loved Jack Kirby’s work on Captain America, Rawhide Kid and especially Mister Miracle.  Then when I got a bit older, I stopped enjoying Mr. Kirby’s output.  I had moved on to more mature comics… or at least that’s how I looked at it then.  Now I see I was missing out on the work of a legend.

Mark Evanier posted a nice remembrance and video.  Bleeding Cool put up a cool Kirby art gallery.  It’s nice that Jack Kirby continues to inspire so many.
