The King, R.I.P.

[Dick Pontoon]

A day late, but 13 years ago yesterday, Jack Kirby passed away. The man truly was a giant.

Kirby's ability to capture the action of a scene is still tops in my book.

Kirby is the best!

[Jeffro.]

Good God! Has it been 13 years already?

Wish he was still around, would love an SS book from him

[Dick Pontoon]

I'd get a piece of comissioned art, even if his hand was shaky. He's also one of the few creators that I wish I could meet personally.

Here's to, THE KING!!! Be he an IMMORTAL always!!!

I have many friends who met the king. They said he was a total gentleman. I truly wish I could have met him.

RIP J K K!

Jimm94, is that from Spirit World?

[jimm94]

It sure is. I'm glad someone recognized it, especially given that it is a fairly obscure work.

[Fan4Fan]

Somewhat apropos... some forthcoming Kirby bios!

What a coincidence! I just picked up a package from the post office (that was delivered insured to my house yesterday) A classic Kirby cover book! Foxhole #1, I'll post a scan here tonight. Very weird.

Flag is at half-staff my friend

Glad I got that right. I was taking a chance with the guess but I knew I had never seen it before, and the subject matter seemed to fit. I need to get off my butt and buy a copy of that mag already...

To the KING!
