Synopsis
Jack "the King" Kirby, often in collaboration with Stan Lee, created some of comics' most enduring characters: the X-Men, Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, and the Fantastic Four, among others. In the process, his visual language--his pencilwork, grammar, and style--changed comics forever. This beautiful book, put together by a longtime friend and colleague of the master, explores Kirby's legacy, allowing his images to make many of the arguments. Rare, autobiographical strips shed light on the artist's childhood: "Street Code" contains a New York street scene drawing as detailed as a Hieronymus Bosch painting. With an introduction by Neil Giaman.

As a teenager, future television and comics writer Evanier became an assistant to Jack Kirby, one of the foremost artists in the history of American comics. Kirby played a major role in shaping the superhero genre, not only through his innovative, dynamic artwork but through collaborating with Stan Lee to create classic Marvel characters like the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and the X-Men. Evanier has now written this magnificently illustrated biography of his mentor. Rather than employing the academic prose that one might expect from an art book, Evanier, a talented raconteur, tells Kirby's life story in an informal, entertaining manner. Although Evanier does not delve into psychological analysis, he brings Kirby's personality vividly alive: a child of the Great Depression, a creative visionary who struggled most of his life to support his family. The book recounts how Kirby was insufficiently appreciated by clueless corporate executives and close-minded comics professionals. But the stunning artwork in this book, taken from private collections, makes the case for Kirby's genius. A landmark work, this is essential reading for comics fans and those who want to better understand the history of the comics medium—or those who just want to enjoy Kirby's incredible artwork.
