HAPPY GIFFEN DAY!

In honor of Keith Giffen's birthday—he turns 39 today—I urge you to click here and read a post from a few years back, singing the praises of the guy I like to call the Jack Kirby of my generation of comics creators.  Enjoy!

And Happy Birthday Keith!

  1. 39, eh? So, he was in grade school when you and he worked on JLI. That is impressive.

    Although, he must have an exceptional amount of stress. He looked quite a bit older when O saw him at a convention a few years back.

  3. Happiest of birthdays to Keith Giffen!

    To whom it may concern, my personal favorite Giffen/DeMatteis collaboration is PLANETARY BRIGADE and PLANETARY BRIGADE: ORIGINS. Would love to see that world revisited, preferably in a monthly!

    1. I'd love that, David. But I don't know if it can happen. Time will tell...

    1. Yes, I've seen that. (And read about it in Serling and Bradbury-related books.)
      Zicree's videos are often very interesting...
