Omschrijving

Filled with stunning artwork, this graphic novel biography of comics pioneer Jack Kirby by an artist who worked closely with him is "a landmark work, essential reading for comics fans and those who want to better understand the history of the comics medium--or those who just want to enjoy Kirby's incredible artwork" (Publishers Weekly).

Winner, Best Comics-Related Work (Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards)
Includes an introduction by Neil Gaiman

Jack Kirby created or co-created some of the all-time most popular super heroes, including Captain America, The X-Men, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, The Mighty Thor, Darkseid, and The New Gods. Much of the visual language for fantasy and adventure comics originated with Kirby. Almost everything that was different about comic books began in the 1940s on the drawing table of Jack Kirby. This is his story by one who knew him well: Mark Evanier

Don't miss Kirby: King of Comic, the acclaimed overview of the legendary comic book creator's career.

"As a teenager, future television and comics writer [Mark] Evanier became an assistant to Jack Kirby, one of the foremost artists in the history of American comics. Evanier has now written this magnificently illustrated biography of his mentor. Evanier, a talented raconteur, tells Kirby's life story in an informal, entertaining manner. He brings Kirby's personality vividly alive: a child of the Great Depression, a creative visionary who struggled most of his life to support his family. The book recounts how Kirby was insufficiently appreciated by clueless corporate executives and close-minded comics professionals. But the stunning artwork in this book, taken from private collections, makes the case for Kirby's genius. A landmark work, this is essential reading for comics fans and those who want to better understand the history of the comics medium--or those who just want to enjoy Kirby's incredible artwork." --Publishers Weekly
