The Fantastic World of Jack Kirby

When you enter the amazing world of Jack Kirby, you enter a fantastic place, filled with muscular, powerful heroes; beautiful, buxom women; and flame-filled, explosive action. Jack was the co-creator of many of the superheroes and super-heroines that we know and love.

Jack co-created (with Joe Simon,his co-collaborator for many years) his first major hero, Captain America in 1940, for Timely (later to be Marvel), which he was able to revive in the 1960's in "The Avengers"#4.

In the early 60's, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby co-created a vast array of superheroes that turned Marvel Comics into a very profitable company. To name just a few of their creations: Fantastic Four;The Avengers; Thor; The Hulk; Iron Man; X-Men; and so many more.

Who could forget The Fantastic Four's battles with Doctor Doom, The Silver Surfer and Galactus, or The Avengers with Loki and The Sub-Mariner.

In the 70's, Kirby moved to DC Comics and created another era of exciting heroes such as: The New Gods; The Forever People; Mister Miracle; The Demon; Kamandi, The Last Boy On Earth; just to name a few.     He also brought out an enduring villain in Darkseid, who appeared in several of the titles.

Kirby did many projects after that for DC and Marvel, as well as animation work; also art for other companies up to his death in 1994.

Jack Kirby left one of the most fantastic comic book legacies.
