Kirby King of Comics

Jack Kirby created or co-created some of comics' most popular characters including "Captain America", "The X-Men", "The Hulk", "The Fantastic Four", "The Mighty Thor", "The Avengers" and "The New Gods". More significantly, he created much of the visual language for fantasy and adventure comics. There were comics before Kirby, but for the most part their page layout, graphics and visual dynamic aped what was being done in syndicated newspaper strips. Almost everything that was different about comic books began in the forties on the drawing table of Jack Kirby. This is his story - the first and only book celebrating the King of Comics and his groundbreaking work.
