Aww, Yeah. Kirby Style – Part One
This week starts off a new, regularly irregular series that'll focus on three of the greatest artist of the 20th century. This week, and next, we're focusing on Jack Kirby, who is generally accepted to be the most important man in comic book history. In this episode, we focus on Jack's life through the end of the Silver Age and the launch of the Fourth World at DC, try to name as many Jack Kirby creations as we can in sixty seconds, wonder if desperation and deadlines are enough to make up an art style, wonder why all early comic book creator names sound like porn stars, go on the longest Superman tangent ever, and get completely swept up in Jack's fantastic, hyperbolic imagination.
