The artist tasked for this job was comic legend Jack Kirby In the film Michael Parks played Kirby, but is screen time was brief The art he created though played a much bigger role in the final escape. In 1993, Jim Lee was still new to the comic industry but he was a big fan of[...]

They seem to be implying, if only lightly, that this means Rocket Raccoon and Groot will have less up-front roles in the film.   (At right, the original Jack Kirby/Dick Ayers art for the splash page of Tales to Astonish #13, the first appearance of Groot) Most-Read Comic Stories Today: After Fifteen Years, Peter David Announces Hell On Earth From[...]

The gentleman walks up to me and says, "So, you're Jesse, eh?" I, of course proudly announced that YES I was! The guy nodded and said, "Okay just make sure no one cuts in line, okay? Oh by the way my name is Jack Kirby." Keep in mind I had only been into comics for[...]

Mark Robert Bourne wrote for Bleeding Cool from San Diego Comic Con Jack Kirby. Mention his name to anyone in the geek community and you'll get the same response.  He elevated a previously static and mundane form and sent a shockwave of powerful illustrations into the minds of unsuspecting readers.  He's a legend, responsible for the creation[...]

The 1963 comic by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced concepts which in the coming decades would become one of the most successful comic book franchises in the world The original issue featured Professor Xavier and a team of Angel, Iceman, Beast, Cyclops, and Marvel Girl taking on Magneto. Giving the sale some additional perspective, this[...]

But here's a brief look at last month's issue of The Boys, featuring our ever loveable Stan Lee analogue berating someone who appears to be a Jack Kirby substitute, in the manner of Macbeth to the dead Banquo… thought it was worth enjoying again.

And with New Teen Titans Omnibus Vol 2, it seemed that this was indeed happening. And with the Jack Kirby Spirit World Hardcover, it looks like this is now standard practice for the publisher Stitched pages, sufficient margin gap here's an "unboxing video" to prove it.

Eek. I must admit I can barely look at this, even given all the givens -- it's a low grade copy, one of many, etc, etc  -- but I've spent too much of my

 Sorry Hulk, I've been busy. The Incredible Hulk #1 by Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and George Roussos came out in 1962, and is cover-dated May — but the cover date is an indication as to when unsold copies of the comic were to be removed from the stands. As you can see from the scans below, stamped and penciled[...]

StanWatch: Steve Bissette talks Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Forgive my being blunt: As a corporate shill, Stan has behaved as shills should at all times As a human being, Stan has at times behaved abominably and shamefully toward his former friend and frequent collaborator, and that man's heirs, while tending to his own selfishly and[...]

How ugly is this? As part of Marc Toberoff's appeal against Marvel Comics on behalf of the estate of Jack Kirby, over gaining copyright of the likes of X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor and The Avengers, the paperwork goes straight for the Stan Lee jugular. They state that Marvel's case, that Jack Kirby's contribution to Marvel during[...]

Based on the title alone, Stan Lee ought to be annoyed about at least one of these Sharon Moody pieces too, I think. That aside, I've heard it said that

It offered for sale a single painting: "Mjolnir—To Thy Master!" Take a look for yourself. The artist's name was … Jack Kirby, right? Wrong It's the work of an artist named Sharon Moody, and Kirby's name was nowhere to be seen I investigated a little further, and discovered other similar paintings. Here's another.
