Summary:
An action-packed illustrated life in comic books Creating and co-creating some of the most enduring superheroes and supervillains of all timeincluding Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Avengers, Iron Man, black Panther, Thor, and the New Godswould be enough to ensure legendary comic book master Jack Kirby a place in the upper echelons of comic book history. But Jack Kirbys life contained more than pencil lines, bombastic character designs, and one-of-a-kind story ideas. The first-ever graphic novel-style biography of the King of Comics recounts Jack Kirbys life from the mean streets of Depression-era New York to the bloody European battlefront of World War II and into the Marvel Bullpen, where Kirby and Stan Lees creative partnership produced some of the most memorable and influential comic book tales ever seen Whether fighting for his life against the Nazis just like his star-spangled Captain America or fighting for his right to the immense body of work he produced, Jack Kirby lives a life as extraordinary as any of his characters.
