I forget if it was Jack or Stan who said that they wrote Ben's dialogue, with Jack's voice in mind.
So I've finally heard what Ben Grimm sounds like. Even at that age -- it sounds like Ben.
Jack Kirby was a true visionary. He was the most important artist of the 20th century.
I know Stan lee got star on the walk of fame but jack needs to be recognized
Jack deserves a galaxy on that sidewalk.
it's called walk of fame, not walk of talent
Stan got more credit than he deserved
Jack was a superhero. He sounded like a Soprano, but he was as important as The Beatles.
what fascinates me most is how simple he makes it sound.
You're welcome! Kirby was an incredible cartoonist, and also a brilliant and forward-looking idea man. Where WOULD comics be without him?!?!!??
not being alive during the golden age of comics, and only getting into them a couple years ago i can still look at this mans work and be awe struck, inspired, intimidated, etc. a true artist whos influence will outlive me.
I felt the felt the same way when i read the new gods.
Neal Adams was a superb illustrator. For him to speak of Jack Kirby that way just shows how powerful The King truly was.
I love Kirby, and we owe him more than words can say. He was just a working class joe trying to put food on the table. In the process, he tapped into the primordial Force that drives human dream and imagination, which are defining features of humanity itself. He was a force of nature - a shaman, a showman, and a Sherpa.
>jack kirby art is HIGH art....PERIOD.
Neal Adams is as dynamic as his drawings, and Kirby to this day, is still the best storyteller of them all.
absolutely brilliant. A true artist
The genius of Jack Kirby is where it all begins and ends. Neal Adams is good too.
Love you Kirby sir
@themredweirdoshow Yeah Dont forget Wood and Kirby worked on Sky Masters of the Space force!
The greatest !
I love this Kirby guy!
Neal is correct in saying the idea man takes available ideas and makes them new but JACK KIRBY took the older ideas and made them so new that no one would ever recognize he had been influenced at all. as john lennon said, you really cannot totally do anything new, but jack kirby clearly came as close as possible. it is understandable that kirby was angry with stan lee since it so obvious kirby was the true VISIONARY. what did stan ever do without jack in the company??????????????
Kirby was more like the JIMI HENDRIX
2 truly truly great people. Hope one day I can meet Mr. Adams in real life.
CaptainMarvel4Ever I met him. He's awesome.
Rip both of them
Good point.
As an interesting bit of trivia supposedly Galactus was created as a result of a
four word plot verbally given to Kirby from Stan Lee concerning Fantastic Four 48-50 'The Galactus Trilogy
'
"Have them fight God'
my two fave artists ( apart from buscema of course )
amazing stuff
yes amazing amazing man is Jack I love you to neal what inspirations you are!
At 3:01-3:09? That's a G for Galactus,
Probably like Superman and the S
he wears.
Lennon & McCartney is far more appropriate imo. Like the aforementioned song writing duo, Kirby & Lee had great success apart, but their best work was together.
what an effing genius: @5:07 he basically foreshadows gn/tpb
And also neal Adams sir

Kirby is the all father,if you or i like it or not
@jonWRowe totally agree with you, I have been an artist comic book collector and Neal has new books out true to his style currently but Byrne stop being Byrne year ago!
Genius
@DialBforBLOG There probably wouldnt be any--but if there were, they would Never achieve what they are--and that is NO reflection on the thousand other GREAT Comic Artists--thats just a testimony to Jack's Fantastic vision and insights---He was like the 1st man on the moon....
Jolly Jack Kirby, AKA Jack King Kirby!!!!
Can someone please tell me a good book about Jack Kirby? I have no idea who he is, or why people give him so much credit.
Nearly everything Marvel made was his work. Stan Lee just stole credit.
Fantasic Four is great for Marvel and New Gods is amazing for comics
Another KIRBY CREATION, 'Iron Man', came out tonight and it was awesome. The artists from the time unilaterally profess that JACK KIRBY came up with almost all the ideas for characters. Still, Jack's name was not mentioned until the end credits in SMALL PRINT! It is so pathetic and I believe will soon backlash more than ever before considering the amount of KIRBY MOVIES in the past 7 or 8 years and the MANY YET TO COME. It was an improvement from X-men though who acted like Jack was a CATERER!
@DialBforBLOG
who? never heard of him!
ok... given.
Who are the two bums that thumbs down this video? 😂 #JackKirbyTheKing
Bill maher andfredrick wertham's ghost.
If you look at Ron Frenz's art, he resembles Kirby's unique style. Kirby changed the comics industry forever. RIP
And then there's JESUS. He never did comic books, but being the central figure in the history of the world isn't bad either!
though Elvis did not last as a major figure and influence for nearly as long.
Kirby could get away with mass produced quick drawn stuff.
Byrne, unfortunately, can't. Byrne was better when he tried to be Neal Adams, as opposed to when he tried to be a Jack Kirby who could mass produce comic book art, instead of spend time working on detail and anatomy.
Yet unlike Spector and Wilson, Ditko didn't get strung out on drugs or became a nutjob record mogul accused of murder. A really uneven comparison and contrast. Marvel in the Silver Age had its own Gospel: Stan The Man was the Father, Roy Thomas the Son and Kirby the Holy Ghost. Ditko, Don Heck, Larry Lieber, Dick Ayers, The Buscemas and the Severins were apostles. I only saw Gil Kane, Neal Adams, Denny O'Neil and STERANKO as prophets then.

ah. But i believe both lee and jack tie for greatest jew of all tim.
Kirby is arguably the most talented producer of work in the comic industry. Too he never created a body of work that was 100% his from concept to execution. New Gods was close but he always had others ink, color, letter, etc. Sadly this keeps him from being considered a talent who transcended being a commercial artist into an artist.

Well, I agree they are the Lennon and Mccartney of comics but what does that make Kirby and Joe Simon? I don't think there is any other artist or writer who was part of the top team for 3 decades, then struck out completely alone and created 100 or so new characters completely his own, something Stan Lee could NEVER do. Stan is not the holy grail of writers but CLEARLY Jack Kirby is the undisputed King of comics, hence he truly is the JIMI HENDRIX.
That makes very little sense at all.
Kirby's genius was as a creator of concepts, not necessarily as a "technical" artist. Much of his artwork was massed produced, and spread thin with many of the faces looking the same. It was still very creative and charming, but not for instance, as technically good as Adams' or George Perez's work.
But, as great as Perez is (my favorite artist) at drawing, he's hardly created squat re: memorable original characters, costumes, or concepts. That's where Kirby had it all over everyone else.
