My favorite Kirby now is the more crazy abstract stuff, so my selection favors that. Of course there was much more to Kirby.
This photo of Alan Moore and Jack Kirby from the 1985 Kirby Awards (taken by Jackie Estrada) is more easily found on Google than an image of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby together. I’ve never seen a clear photo of them together at their height.
Happy Birthday Jack Kirby and a personal thank you for Kamandi: The Last Boy On Earth #10 and The Eternals # 2 that I read when I was 9.
Also happy International Read Comics in Public Day to all The Beat Readers out there.

One with Gil Kane, Jim Steranko, Will Eisner, Jerry Siegel!
“Also happy International Read Comics in Public Day to all The Beat Readers out there.”
Now go buy a Kirby-verse comic from Dynamite.
Happy Birthday to the one and only King.
How I wish there was even a fraction of his optimism and energy in left superhero comics now.
I was reading OMAC this morning unaware of The King’s birthday. Happy Birthday, Mr. Kirby!
That photo of Alan Moore with Jack Kirby was taken by me, by the way. At the 1985 Jack Kirby Awards in San Diego.
Jackie I’ll add a credit line!
LOVE me some crazy abstract Kirby! Happy Birthday to the once-and-forever King!
Heidi, that’s a great selection of Kirby’s work! Really a good way for people to think about the scope of his work and where all that energy goes.
Thanks for the best gallery of his work I’ve seen today.
@Bob C Musgrave – I second that re Kamandi #10 – also my first Kamandi & gateway drug to the rest of Kirby’s work. Morticoccus haunted me for years!

JACK: My stories were true. They involved living people, and they involved myself. They involved whatever I knew. I never lied to my readers.
Puts the tears in my eyes.
