Jack Kirby was an incredible cartoonist. Thankyou for posting this.

You're welcome! Kirby was an incredible cartoonist, and also a brilliant and forward-looking idea man. Where WOULD comics be without him?!?!!??

KIRBY is GOD.... I know that George Lucas was inspired by new gods and the fantastic four, and by combining darkseid with dr. doom he devleoped a little charcter called DARTH VADER. If you go back now and read new gods it is SO obivious. Orion is really Darsides son, (luke is really darths son). Darkside uses omega red darth uses the force.... KIRBY was SO influential in all media/

Jack Kirby is the "KING" of comics, nobody even comes close.

@jonWRowe totally agree with you, I have been an artist comic book collector and Neal has new books out true to his style currently but Byrne stop being Byrne year ago!

@DialBforBLOG There probably wouldnt be any--but if there were, they would Never achieve what they are--and that is NO reflection on the thousand other GREAT Comic Artists--thats just a testimony to Jack's Fantastic vision and insights---He was like the 1st man on the moon....

@BrandonNielsen87 according to some, you must buy The Bible... lol

Can someone please tell me a good book about Jack Kirby? I have no idea who he is, or why people give him so much credit.

@themredweirdoshow Yeah Dont forget Wood and Kirby worked on Sky Masters of the Space force!

[themredweirdoshow]

@harveydents Based on my many decades of comic book study, I totally agree that there would be no Star Wars as we know it without Jack Kirby. Star Trek, on the other hand, was much more of a Wallace Wood thing.

One creation louder and more dramatic, the other more subtle and brooding - yet each with its own rich quality and fascinating features, just like Kirby and Wood themselves, who also worked together on... what else? Space travel-related projects!
