Show Notes
The world of comic books has been home to many influential creators, and maybe the biggest of them all is none other than Jacob Kurtzberg aka Jack Kirby. Kirby worked as an artist, writer, and sometimes editor, where he developed a style and narrative structure that would define the medium. With a career in comics than spanned more than five decades, Kirby touched and excelled at just about every genre imaginable in the pages of comics: Sci-fi, Horror, Crime, Westerns, War, Romance, and especially Superheroes. Kirby's impact can be felt now more than ever; responsible for the creation of virtually the entire Marvel Universe, Kirby's work can been seen more and more translated to live action films and TV where it is reaching its biggest audience yet. Today the panel celebrates "The King of Comics," Jack Kirby.
