The Marvel Legacy of Jack Kirby

by John Thomas, Jack Kirby (Artist)

Jack Kirby earned the nickname “King” over 50 plus years in comics, from co-creating Captain America to the Fantastic Four to Devil Dinosaur. In addition, Jack’s explosive layouts, high drama and fantastic imagination helped evolve the art form in ways few others can claim. Now, the House of Ideas explores that work in THE MARVEL LEGACY OF JACK KIRBY. In essays and commentary, this retrospective reviews the comics, the influence and the times of Kirby, and puts a special focus on the month that changed everything, November 1961.

If you are a fan of Jack Kirby, as I have always been, this is great read to learn more about the comic artist legend. Along with Stan Lee, he helped create the majority of the popular heroes that you see in the MCU films. You will get insights into the creation of so many legendary characters and the difficulties inherent In the creative, but competitive comic field at that time. Well worth the read.
