With Stan Lee, he created the Fantastic Four and defined the drawing and narrative style of Marvel Comics from the 1960s to the present day. Kirby is credited with creating or cocreating a number of Marvel's mainstay properties, among them the X-Men, the Hulk, Thor, and the Silver Surfer. His earlier work with Joe Simon led to the creation of Captain America, the popular kid gang and romance comic genres, and one of the most successful comics studios of the 1940s and 1950s. Kirby's distinctive narrative drawing, use of bold abstraction, and creation of angst-ridden and morally flawed heroes mark him as one of the most influential mainstream creators in comics.In this book, Charles Hatfield examines the artistic legacy of one of America's true comic book giants. He analyzes the development of Kirby's cartooning technique, his use of dynamic composition, the recurring themes and moral ambiguities in his work, his eventual split from Lee, and his later work as a solo artist. Against the backdrop of Kirby's earlier work in various genres, Hand of Fire examines the peak of Kirby's career, when he introduced a new sense of scope and sublimity to comic book fantasy"--Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 272-283) and index. 600 10 $a Kirby, Jack $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Cartoonists $z United States. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Comics & Graphic Novels. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Great comics artists. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017023109.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190205032039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C09CFFEA7D5211E1A6C2838D6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
