Bwhahahahahhahahahahahahahha..­..

Wait, you're being serious?

Thanks for writing your own epitaph.

HA! Hopefully that was replying to some of those comments below. If it was, I have a bucket of popcorn to share.

I was very impressed with this installment of POG, but I must point out that when Commander Rick mentioned that Stan Lee indulged in "self-promotion," I cringed. If anything, Stan promoted Marvel Comics and the artists that he felt priviledged working with, including Jack "King" Kirby! While the mainstream remains ignorant of Jack's legacy of genius, comic book fans have never forgotten him!

It's really a shame there aren't more video and audio interviews of Jack. It's wonderful to hear him speak. I wish I could have met him.

if any actor does a movie acting for jack kirby it has to be al pacino

@anvilofcrom He created the comic look of Thor, not the character.

[anvilofcrom]

Jew boy Jack did not create Thor...that honour goes to the Scandanavians.

The guys from that era are true class acts. I don't think you'd ever so much as hear one of them say "damn" in an interview. These are guys you actually look up to and *respect*. Modern era guys need to take a look at these fellas and learn how to be modest and well mannered. Doesn't matter how good your work is, you need to be a nice guy to get genuine respect...

Jack King Kirby, is an Old school Gentleman. It's great to see this video. He's Gone but HIS Work will NEVER DIE. Long live the KING of the Comic Art.

[josswhedon692]

His response at 4:55 sufficiently blows my mind.

"We act realistically, but we dream beyond that reality"

This guy is a legend. He's work inspired lots of people. I can't believe he passed away a year after this :(

[koestenbraumstar]

Kamandi.......yes yes!!

[HeatLegs]

I like how philosophical Kirby was.

A true legend, Jack Kirby was one of my earliest inspirations as an artist. Thank you for posting this.
