Jack Kirby Heroes Thrive in Comic Books and Film
Permalink
On the eve of the late great Jack Kirby’s birthday [he would have been 86th] Elvis Mitchell pays tribute to his legacy in the New York Times.

“Kirby, a prolific writer and illustrator whose bold and sculptured hero drawings have been emulated for decades, died in 1994. Tomorrow would have been his 86th birthday. He had an enduring influence on comics, but he left his stamp on the movies, too. There he is survived by many of his creations and by films that used his work as a starting point.”

And appropriately I think, after all his years of grandstanding and taking all the credit, not one mention of Stan the man here.
