A Curated Tour of the Jack Kirby Museum Pop-Up at London Film and Comic Con 2019
I found myself with a table at the London Film And Comic-Con. A small one, by the toilets but it helped me find stories, helped people find me, and enabled me to report live from the show over the three-day weekend. I was also adjacent to the Jack Kirby Museum pop-up – UK division. And, well, it would have been rude not to let the man running the presentation, Russell. give me a tour of the Kirby delights he had on hand… and now you get to see them too. And you can find the Kirby Museum online right here.
The Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center is organized exclusively for educational purposes; more specifically, to promote and encourage the study, understanding, preservation and appreciation of the work of Jack Kirby by:
- illustrating the scope of Kirby's multi-faceted career,
- communicating the stories, inspirations and influences of Jack Kirby,
- celebrating the life of Jack Kirby and his creations, and
- building understanding of comicbooks and comicbook creators.
To this end, the Museum will sponsor and otherwise support study, teaching, conferences, discussion groups, exhibitions, displays, publications and cinematic, theatrical or multimedia productions.
