Jack Kirby on Entertainment Tonight - 28 Oct 1982

[Dukesfan1980]

well ive got the same last name.. but not the same talent... lol..

[Darwininian]

He made up many characters and Stan Lee took the credit or them

[skinwalkerxxx]

can you bet that a female journalist these days would take offense of being drawn as a damsel in distress? wich is sad. :(

anyway great clip!

[rcehoppe]

OMG  - look at her hair (lol)

[SuperAntgarcia]

Wow,an amazing man,I had the good forture of meeting the ''king'' just before his pasting'',long live the king''

[artbyvince]

Wow! Thanks for posting. I remember seeing this way back when it aired. It was the first time I saw an interview on tv with Kirby... the greatest comic book artist ever!

[sabinoson]

I think he gave a decent interview. I've read that, when compared to Stan, Jack gave "bad" interviews...but I don't see that here. He seems well spoken and very charming. Long live the king...

[robertquentincobb]

JACK KING KIRBY: The Picasso of our Graphic comic age. His work will Never die. P.S. It's such a relief to see a really gregarious , and happy looking guy. Instead of those Sad , mean and miserable looking wannabe Goth-Artist.

[C4RL0Z479]

Really nice to see King Kirby drawing, however, i must point out the CREEPY laughter form the interviewer at 2:08 onwards.

[redfootninja]

@C4RL0Z479 yeah that laugh scared me 0_0

[lovetownsend]

thats his voice?

[travisnealtodd70]

Somewhat condescending treatment of Kirby here, with the cheesy sound effects. I think Kirby actually was trying to found a new religion, with himself as puppet master.

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of Entertainment Tonight's Report On Jack Kirby On October 28, 1982.

[teakey]

The more I hear about Jack and Steve Ditko the slimier Stan Lee gets

[TheDrunkenHer0]

@teakey Stan Lee came up with characters and Jack drew them, what slimy about that.?

[Dyler]

I love King Kirby and comic books but hate the "Biff bam pow" representation we always get in the media. It's like we'll never lose the stigma of being a juvenile medium and we have no one to blame but ourselves. 

[Jalanko13]

@Dyler you have to realize this was from the 80's and about comics from the late 70's.

back then, that's what comics were, a juvenille medium.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

@Jalanko13 : No, that's not what they were, that's what the condescending mainstream media presented them as...

[brianpadraic]

"We can be the people we lionize."

[jackedsamurai772]

i hate how the reporter talks sort of negatively about comic book fans

[owlie14]

@jackedsamurai772 yeah, the mainstream media are such assholes when it comes to the comic book community...

[jaymusseato]

>Jack Kirby and Joe Strummer F O R E V E R

[jaymusseato]

>THANK YOU for POSTING THIS....my FAVORITE BAND and my FAVORITE ARTIST mentioned TOGETHER is almost UNIMAGINABLE...

Cheers!

[tilaranense]

it's a shame stan took all the credits

[tilaranense]

DOMINUS!!!

[ritornare]

happy birthday jack

[b133le]

YES YES YES!!!!!

[neonaction]

he sounds like Al pacino! Jack is an amazing artist

[JacobRTweedy]

that bitch reporter has a fake laugh

[Acrylicdrums]

Entertainment tonight in the 80's was pretty sickening. The female and male reporters would fake laugh through everything. It was such a cheesy show.

[JohnnyS001]

It's too bad none of today's comic-book writers can imbue their characters and stories with that "transcendent feeling" Kirby always had in his. Of course, since all of today's writers are just a bunch of inbred fanboy hacks, I guess that's really no surprise.

[itzjoeymac]

And the silver surfer and the x-men and the inhumans and the black panther and doctor dooom and and and

[Wolverine121496]

Kirby's ledgend Will Live On Forever

[wasteland70]

You may not believe me, but when I was a boy in Southern California my sister was friends with Mr. Kirby's grand-daughter. I was at his house numerous times, swimming in his pool and spending the day there. I wish I still had the comics and posters he gave me. I can tell you, honestly, he was a sweet, kind, wonderful man. Visits to Mr. Kirby's, or as my mother called him "Mr. Creator" are likely the fondest of my childhood.

[Wolverine121496]

I honestly do believe you, Jack Kirby touched me with his generosity and kind heart. Even though he dided before i was born. :(

[tilaranense]

@wasteland70 LIER I ENVY YOU

[frankdiddly]

Video of the Master at his drawing table! Priceless!! *****

[tedm1975]

Kirby's such a badass! He is The King period.

[MrKOSTANDINOS1]

Jack should have drawn her as a superheroine called Captain Catherine in a wonder woman pose, swinging a microphone around like a magic lasso.

She would wrap it around people to get the truth out of them during interviews.

[cacrow]

Thanks for posting this! I had never heard an interview with Jack before.

[ADFComicBookGuy]

2:15 LOL, That's a scary face, rofl

[Doeney]

Happy birthday, Jack.

[comicsggk]

According to Scott McCloud's blog he would've been 92 years old.

[masipag999]

That was damn cool!

[IggyM]

Definitely one the coolest guys EVER

[Choniguysmuler]

Thank you Jack wherever you are.

[Serpo71]

Yeah, I'd like to think he's still sitting at his table, drawing, in the next dimension..........

SERPO

[comicsggk]

"Oh Jack, you're endowing me nicely heh heh *snort*"

"It's my normal masculine instinct. "

Awesome :3

[inza10]

un capo jack

he is a real genious

[JR19752008]

Great video, thanks for posting. Jack really did believe people could be heroes. Good on him, I say :)
