prevnextToday is also Jack Kirby's birthday. Without Kirby's storytelling genius, there probably wouldn't be a comic book business today—and all of us who toil in the fields of imagination owe him an incalculable debt. Happy Birthday, Jack...wherever in this crackling cosmos you are! pic.twitter.com/fRec3uQrQj

prevnextYears ago I met Jack Kirby [ for a second time ] and while speaking with him I was trying to buy some snacks at a con. He handed me $23.00 [ all the money in his wallet ] and said "eat up kid!" then said goodbye almost before I could thank him!

prevWhat I'm really trying to say is, on his birthday, get to know Jack Kirby. The reason Stan Lee gets dinged is bc of the hype and bullshit he, Marvel, the press and many circles of fandom perpetuated at the expense of others.
Sure, Stan was the Man.
But Kirby was the King. #is
