NOTE: The UA-cam copyright cops rejected several songs I wanted to use in this video (songs that were in the top 40 in May of '69). I finally found one that was accepted "You Made Me So Happy" by Blood, Sweat and Tears without realizing I had already used it in a recent Comic Rack Jack video. So, my apologies for that, but I hope everyone will enjoy the video anyway.

Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four, Captain America, Thor, Hulk and such other characters he created were he’s such a wonderful person he is
I was born about the time of this issue. And through the years, spent searching out and hoarding Jack's work,in any compendium, through foggy, darkened avenues, soot filled hills and valleys, like a nocturnal specter endlessly looking for the next, overlooked horde of Jack's marvel books. In through the years, through the sweat,fear, filth,muck,cold and sorrow until pooptube came along. Now I breathlessly wait for the next announcement from hascrap to see how the fellas will interprete one of Jack's awesome characters made into plastic action figure dollies. Then if the engineering meets my approval I'll greedily grab what I can from the ilk spilling out of hascrap's butt. Living from action figure dolly to action figure dolly. Thanks Jacob 😂❤
Nobody beats the ' King ' baby ❤😂
Excellent 👌 job.❤😂
When I first read Kirby's Fourth World comics as a kid in the '70s I did find them kind of strange with the wonky dialogue and characters. I hate to say it now, but sometimes even a little silly. Recently I've been re-reading the New Gods and I'm impressed by the amazing amount of work he put into these comics, and their passionate, personal tone. It feels like he was really trying to communicate something very important to him rather than cranking out funny books for kids. I'm coming away from this with a whole new respect for Kirby as an artist and as a man.
Orion Pictures 😊
According to Edward Neumer (Co Creator of Robocop) the character was inspired from _ Iron Man, ROM the Spaceknight_ , and _Machine Man_-but they forgot to mention that Robocop's true inspiration was from 1974's *Deathlok the Demolisher* .
That was great lol, seeing this now makes me think what if Peter Weller were to be in a live action Machine Man movie, which would have worked perfectly. Nice review.
Thanks, AOG.
I know I have a couple of these stashed away... somewhere... How many issues of Machine Man did he do? Great images. Jack had such bold style and never missed a beat. Who was doing the inking on these? Nice mash-up. It would have been cool to see Jack directly adapt the Alex Murphy Chronicles. Much enjoyed, Fred.
Thanks, Tony. Jack did 9 issues after the 3-story run in "2001" #8-10. Mike Royer did the inks.
Machine Man is perfect for this. I loved Kirby's creation of "Sonics" in that comic. The man was a treasure trove of knowledge and information. Sorely missed. Good one Fred.
Thanks, Doug.
Wow did robocop really really rip off a lick from the terminator theme and slap it down at the end of their trailer?
LOL
Very nice robocop/ Machine man mix. Kirby could definitely do great technology
Aaron Stack, X-51, Machine man . Love this
Own X-51 #5 cool cover of Machine Man vs Vision.
Been collecting comics a long time and let me tell noone and I mean no one has ever drawn a cover the way Kirby did during this time. Just seeing it added to the excitement of buying it.
This was my introduction to the character back in the '60s. I still think it's the greatest Thor story ever.
Jack Kirby's drawings of Sue Storm in the 1960's were stunningly beautiful, I wondered if there were any real-life females that were part of his inspirations.
Neat stuff well done bravo 🎉
Thanks, Travis. Posting Jack's 'Robocop today.
🇨🇦John Byrne🥇 💥"ALPHA FLIGHT", "NEXT MEN"✨💫
Should I or should I not be a pain in the butt?.... YEAH I WILL. .... In 0:54 this is their SECOND GO AROUND with the engagement. Sue was clear in Fantastic Four # 1, page 9, panel 4, that they were engaged before they received their powers Maybe Jack and Stan forgot or maybe that period of fickleness were she mooned over Namor K.O.-ed the engagement. This was never depicted in the series, so I have to assume Sue broke off the engagement because Jack and Stan had this nasty habit of presenting Reed as SIMP..... OFF TOPIC: Oh, how I hated seeing Richards lacking self-respect.... A FREAKING LAP DOG LIVING FOR SUE'S ATEENTION!!! Why? We see Reed being grabbed by so many females in FF # 14 page 3 panel 3... UGHHH I hated the pre-issue # 27 toxic romance angle.
Yep, enjoyed all these comix, including the FF Annual that turned out to be a reprint of a couple early FF stories. (was the cover a reprint, or was that original Kirby art?) I know that portions of that Galactus origin were reprinted in that Super Villain Classics one-shot from 1983. I agree that Kirby's art still popped and was spectacular to look at, but as you have already mentioned, the storytelling by this point was very cliched and derivative. However, they were still treasures to behold.
I can easily think of a dozen more covers that deserve to be included... but that's only because Kirby was such a great artist and illustrator. Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed it.
I'm glad. It was tough whittling down to 100, and I forgot a few along the way.
Kirby at the height of his artistic power. The best run of Thor in the series. Both Kirby and Marvel at their greatest
Kirby's art went beyond just comics. It's, it's own pop art, spashy, flashy! Some of his comicbook art was more design then illustration. As a kid, just the cover of "NEW GODS" #1 "forced" me to buy it. And, at that.time I was a total DC "SGT ROCK", "GI COMBAT The Haunted Tank", "Russ Heath" fan.✨💫
All your videos are great Fred, but the choice of music and the wonderful text you wrote for this presentation was topped off with that iconic picture of Jack at the end and your closing thought. I don't know why, but when I read the part with the mention about the drugstores, I teared up and was instantly transported back in my mind to where I bought the majority of my comics as a boy and young teen! Thanks for that Fred!
Wow! Getting that kind of reaction from you, BW, makes all my efforts worthwhile.
This might be one of your best in this series, Fred. I truly don't know how you do it. This was more exciting than the actual film. You are a bottomless well of Kirby images that I've never seen and that never fail to thrill. I hope you never get tired of me saying; "Excelsior!" Thanks as always!
I never will, Tony. As far as how I do it, I guess desire equals ability.
That cover for King Kirby-Size Special # 7 is primo Jack action! Order your posters now, boys. If only. And he was firing on all pistons with those panels featuring Galactus. I don't think I ever read that one, but that's definitely something I'm going to fix. Thanks for carrying his 'torch' for another Fantastic video, Fred. Excelsior!
Hated to see the annuals lose new Kirby inside pages, Tony, but we know now there was a purpose.
Great stuff! I always enjoy your videos!
Thanks, V63.
YES! Super colossal amazement. So fitting for Kirby's awesomeness. Thanks Fred!
You're welcome again, Doug.
I so loved that story in FF. To this day I cannot understand why I didn't continue buying Thor comics, after the title change from J.I.M. to Thor. I bought a few, but I missed so much great stuff. My loss. Thanks Fred!
You're welcome, Doug.
Thanks for the fabulous memories. These two books represent some of the best of Jack's in my opinion. Although the strained relationship prevailed during this time, both Jack and Stan were capable of producing some wonderous comics. Thanks for your efforts on this video - it was great!
Much appreciated, Jay!
The Silver Surfer is my favourite Marvel character, too bad the movies are so lame.
Geez. Another of my favorite genres is the Italian Peplum films of the 50s and 60s. But the Kirby touch turns it up yet another notch. Steve Forrest of Apollo Star Trek OS played Atlas, but he certainly wasn't as massive as Jack's version. Make Mine Kirby!
You n' me both, Tony!
Some of Kirby's earlier work wasn't that good.
"This might wind up as a good old-fashioned orgy"? Maybe I missed something when I first read this comic?
NICE! Puts me in the mind of the 1966 MARVEL SUPERHEROES cartoons, the ones that were listed from comic stills.
Thanks, DG.
Jack Kirby’s spirit is within Fred and not Marvel Disney! Long Live Atlas!
Much appreciated, HP.
The last issue of the Fantastic Four that Jack Kirby penciled was #102, which was on sale June 1970. I have that issue.
Kirby could make giant ants look cool and any other giant creatures
Really wish he could have done just a couple more issues of Atlas, but even that would not be enough.
@1971thedoctor - Agreed. ATLAS was my favorite from the Kirby 1ST Issue Special series.
Great job, Fred. Mr. Kirby was certainly one of a kind. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Jeff.
Another great mash up. Thanks
You're welcome, rundoetx.
Jack Kirby is Marvel for me and will be always !!!
I was reading Kirby’s comics for years and opened up the Sunday paper to see him illustrate The Black Hole. Loved the strip way more than the 😅movie! 😊
Well done, sir!
Thanks, AP.
I don't think that the abduction of Alicia was a kindly act. I know that Hamilton is the only one among them who shows any compassion towards Alicia. The concept of the story arc was supposed to have been influenced by Kirby's reading of Objectivism, a very black and white ideology concerning good and evil. The character of Hamilton reveals a greyer area however, that I'm not sure is entirely Lee's or Kirby's idea. Lee didn't favour the principles of Objectivism, who liked villains who were evil but mad. The same ideology caused him to finally fall out with Steve Ditko, over the Green Goblin's origin in "Spider Man", because Lee wanted a more psychotic character. It's a pity that these two issues caused a rift and the creative energy of Kirby dwindled. It wasn't all "doom and gloom" however, Annihilus was one new character, appearing in the 1968 annual. Great story arcs still appeared, such as the Galactus/Silver Surfer saga, that I think was at least as good as the Dr Doom/Silver Surfer one, that had also got by without any new characters. Kirby and Sinnott still did some great art. The god-like "Him" was reintroduced in "Thor", where a few new characters still appeared. Torgo was another new, great character in the "Fantastic Four", that wouldn't be touched again by Lee and Kirby. The last year of their partnership wasn't fruitful, but they'd been a long time together, and Kirby wanted to go to DC so that he could start his "New Gods" project on his own.
I don't think that there will be someone 😊
Lee was an excellent writer whose characterisation, dialogue, introspection and themes matured throughout the 1960s. I think he did even better on comics he wrote later without Kirby. Kirby's art was probably more awesome than Lee's writing style in terms of actual power.
