It's Jack Kirby's birthday!
Without Kirby, there might not even be a comic book business today. We all stand in his shadow. We all build on his foundation. Not just a brilliant artist but one of the greatest storytellers of the 20th century. (Click on this link to read a tribute to Kirby I've posted here a couple of times.)
Happy birthday, Jack...wherever you are! (Probably riding a surfboard across the multiverse and stopping to draw along the way.)
I just absolutely love this cover of New Gods #1. The collage in the background, the colors, Kirby’s linework… everything is wonderful! Even the tagline “KIRBY IS HERE” at the top is a charm!
ReplyDeleteThose Fourth World books are my favorite comics of all time.
