Kirby: King of Comics

Best biography of a comic artist

I loved this book. From the art to the prose it was a great read. Jack was a lightning rod for ideas, creating new myths for the modern world. It's a story that is some times tragic, but always entertaining. If you even have a passing interest in where those super hero movies got their start look no further. The King of Comics indeed.

Thanks You King Kirby

One of the greatest creative Artists and Minds of the 20th Century. Jack Kirby created the Mythology of our Age. From the mind of a simple Artist came the stories, the Heroes, that define an Age and span the entire globe. (Not to mention singlehandedly having generated BILLIONS of dollars in Industry.) This is a beautiful book full of knowledge only Mark Evanier, a man who worked for Kirby, could know. The Artwork prints in this book are amazing. Lets face it, NO ONE could Layout like the King. His People were filled with Power and Pathos, and its never mentioned that NO ONE could draw Machines, and Architecture like Kirby. To many of us Kirby is 'the' definitive artist. Greater then Picasso, Greater then JK Rowling Jack Kirby was the essence of a true American. Congratulations on a Great Book!!!
