Jack Kirby

Jack “King” Kirby. (August 28, 1917 - February 6, 1994)

"Jack Kirby, born Jacob Kurtzberg, was an American comic book artist, writer and editor regarded by historians and fans as one of the major innovators and most influential creators in the comic book medium."

Here, Jack is depicted in my drawing with only a small handful of characters he brought to life on the printed page. It would actually be easier to list the characters he DIDN’T create or co-create than those that he did. This pencil and ink piece is dedicated to him on what would have been his 96th birthday.
