This is a clip from a long out-of-print documentary called The Masters Of Comic Book Art. It's introduced by Harlan Ellison.

Jack Kirby is seen talking about his cosmic Marvel comics (Galactus, Silver Surfer etc.) and how those led to his Fourth World books at DC. He then says a few words about the history of comics.

I never met Jack Kirby, so I don't know if he was always like this, but he has a strange mixture of emotions as he talks: angry and serious but somehow always on the cusp of smiling, too. A fascinating man and an incredible talent.

  • Hail to the King!

  • @cha5 Well put. People think that the kids are just money grubbing, but they were old enough to know the turmoil Marvel put their parents through. ANd Jack lived for his wife and kids and a lot of his decisions were based on them being taken care of, even if in the long run, it would've been best for him to fight.
