It's Jack Kirby's birthday. The word genius is one that’s often overused, and cheapened by that overuse, but if the comic book business has ever produced a genius, Jack Kirby was it. I could go on rhapsodizing about Kirby's brilliance—but instead I'll point you to this essay I wrote some years back, paying tribute to my favorite comic books of all time: Jack Kirby's "Fourth World."
Happy Birthday, Jack. Hope you're having fun sailing across Creation on your surfboard of imagination. And thank you for all you've given us.
