	Jack Kirby's Fourth World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kirby's interest in SF and mythologies shone most clearly at Marvel's Fantastic Four and Thor.
		Kirby's operatic dialogue style and grandiose pageantry of heroes and villains surprised and disappointed some fans who were expecting work similar to that which he had produced with scripter Stan Lee at Marvel.
		In the early 2000s Kirby's Fourth World comics were reprinted by DC in trade paperback format, though a number of fans were disappointed by the fact that the reprint was in fl and white rather than in color.

	Jack Kirby Biography
		Jack Kirby is one of a trio of artists whom I consider geniuses of the comic book form.
		Kirby was one of the very first to view the comic book page as a unique form and the first to fully comprehend its potential and solve its challenges.
		The lessons they learned from Jack were superficial and their lack of understanding of the underpinnings of his work would lead to a lessening of the comic craft just as production values were increasing for the first time in the history of the medium.

	Jack "The King" Kirby
		Kirby was creating new gods to explain the mysteries of the universe, surely heady stuff for his readers in the mid-60's, or even today for that matter.
		Kirby was at his finest in the Silver Age while chronicling these cosmic epics, in which he strove to interweave the gods of the past with his own mythology.
		Kirby eventually received nearly 2,000 of his pages in 1987 after signing a release form stating that he had no claim to the copyright of the material contained on the pages.

	The JACK F.A.Q. - Page 1
		Jack was a very sweet man with a heart as large as his imagination — and if you read anything he ever did, you at least know how large his imagination could be.
		Jack based some of his characters (not all) on people in his life or in the news...though often, the connection would be lost as the character evolved.
		Jack saw a few of Graham's fire-and-brimstone lectures on TV and felt that the reverend was abusing his position by taking the "fear" in "fear of God" to unhealthy extremes.

		Kirby continued to create comics, drawing Green Arrow in DC's Adventure Comics and World's Finest Comics and co-creating (with Joe Simon) the well-received feature about a group of death-defying adventurers, the Challengers of the Unknown.
		Kirby picked this Superman family book because the series was between artists and he did not want to cost anyone a job.
		Kirby also produced other DC titles such as OMAC, Kamandi, The Demon, and (together with former partner Joe Simon for one last time) a new incarnation of the Sandman.

		Kirby then began his famed partnership with Joe Simon and it was then that he created "Captain America" who instantly became an American idol, and whose popularity spawned the beginning of a national comic book industry.
		Kirby has had a love affair with science fiction since as a small child he rescued a Hugo Gernsback book floating down the gutter on its way to a sewer.
		Though Kirby has never been involved in a movie before, hit is because he never found one that he thought to be worthy of his time before.

	Jack "The King" Kirby
		The Jack Kirby Collector [#13]...had an article on a horror story Jack drew for Marvel involving two sorcerers [that was originally slated for Chamber of Darkness#4].
		Jack chose Nan to be his cover girl since she was the only person in town who had been nice to him.
		Not unlike Stan Lee (the comic character) Jack may be a representation, or avatar, for the Marvel Universe, which is also known as the abstract entity Eternity, seeing as how Jack had so much influence and impact on the creation/formation of the Marvel Universe.

		But Jack's mind was still bubbling and it would not be very long before he would help create a new generation of comic heroes, eternalizing his name in the museum of comics history.
		In 1957 Jack got the idea of a group of men who survive a plane crash on a pacific island and after some death defying adventures the four daredevils become a team fighting fantastic criminals and futuristic villains.
		Kirby was most certainly responsible for Marvel's rejuvenation in 1961 and one wonders what direction the comics medium might have taken had it not been for Jack's genius when comics were at their darkest hour.

	Bookshelf Comics Review - The Black Panther by Jack Kirby, Vol. 1
		This provides a mechanism for Jack to do what he did best at the time: draw bizarre, sci-fi creatures and characters with extraordinary outfits and strange powers – as well as all the action that results (and make no mistake, this book is chock-full of the all-out action that is a Kirby hallmark).
		I’m assuming Marvel decided to reprint this as a tribute to Jack and to capitalize on his popularity; the collection's back cover mentions it is a “never-before-reprinted action epic”, which is true, but as you read this you’ll see why there’s been no rush to reprint it before now.
		Jack’s art is powerful, rugged, and raw, and Mike Royer inks Kirby better than most inkers ever dreamed of.

		At the time the story was produced Kirby had just parted ways with Marvel and with Stan Lee (his collaborator) and had felt slighted by him both financially and in creative credit.
		This is Kirby (as the phrase goes) unleashed and in in his prime.
		Kirby relied on the dullness of newsprint to take the edge off the original so that it wasn't too cheerful looking.

	Challengers of the Unknown - Created by Jack Kirby!
		Jack Kirby was among their admirers, yet by the mid-1950s, the world had been mapped - or so people thought.
		The protagonists possessed no powers beyond their own natural-born brains and/or brawn, yet they wore costumes and were outfitted with enough gadgets and gewgaws to do Batman proud." The DC Encyclopedia entry notes the Challengers bridged the gap between the 1940s "mystery men" and the 1960s supermen.
		As John Morrow notes in the Foreword to COTU Archives Volume 2, Jack's story "The Menace of the Invincible Challenger" had appeared three years earlier with almost the same characters.

		Kirby is perhaps best known for his superhero collaborations with Marvel impresario Stan Lee, which revolutionized the comic industry in the 1960s.

		Kirby created New Genesis and Apokalips (no this is not a spelling mistake) as a complete world unto itself but tied to the DC Universe.
		Had Kirby been allowed to see it through to the end, Darkseid would probably have been killed by his son Orion in a Skywalker/Darth Vader like confrontation and DC and comic fandom would have been robbed of one of one of the greatest superstar villains.
		The only color for older comics like Jack Kirby's exists in the form of plates for these old presses; since they don't exist any more, the original color art cannot be reproduced.

	HOGAN'S ALLEY ONLINE - JACK KIRBY'S LEGACY
		A relative latecomer to the joys of Kirby, McFarlane didn't discover his passion for comic books until he was in his late teens, by which time Kirby had returned to Marvel after several years' stay at DC.
		It always amazes me when people criticize Jack's work as being 'too cartoony,' without realizing that it needed to be drawn in his outrageous, larger-than-life style.
		Looking back on Kirby's body of work, he says Kirby's Galactus Trilogy' is probably his ultimate work, but hastened to add that in saying that "I offer small shrift to the other wonders the titanic mind of Jack Kirby was creating during the same period.

		The project will be completed by Lisa Kirby, Jack's daughter, along with Rick French, Mike Thibodeaux, and Steve Robertson, who are known collectively as Genesis West.
		According to Lisa Kirby, the project grew from character designs that her father Jack had made of a group called the Wonder Warriors, originally intended as villains for 1982's Captain Victory #7.
		Many have already noted the irony, given Jack Kirby's strained relationship with Marvel in the last decades of his life.

		I especially like one panel where Metallo does the typical Kirby “thoughtful hand-across-the-chin” gesture, which looks pretty funny with those big robot fingers.
		One of the interesting things about these short little 2001 stories by Kirby is that there is always a long of unexplored stuff below the surface that you get the feeling Kirby had a whole backstory worked out on who the Princess and the aliens were and where they went.
		The postings on the Jack Kirby Comics Weblog are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent The Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center's positions, strategies or opinions.
