Jack Kirby created or co-created some of comic books’ most
popular characters including Captain America, The X-Men, The
Hulk, The Fantastic Four, The Mighty Thor, Darkseid, and The
New Gods. More significantly, he created much of the visual
language for fantasy and adventure comics. There were comics
before Kirby, but for the most part their page layout,
graphics, and visual dynamic aped what was being done in
syndicated newspaper strips. Almost everything that was
different about comic books began in the forties on the
drawing table of Jack Kirby. This is his story by one who
knew him well—the authorized celebration of the one and only
“King of Comics” and his groundbreaking work. “I don’t think it’s any accident that . . . the entire
Marvel universe and the entire DC universe are all pinned or
rooted on Kirby’s concepts.” —Michael Chabon
