The first authorized celebration of the one and only King of Comics and his groundbreaking work—now revised and expanded. Introduction by Neil Gaiman, featuring an exclusive, original Alex Ross "Jack Kirby" poster on underside of fold-out cover. Filled with stunning artwork, this gloriously illustrated biography of comics pioneer Jack Kirby by an artist who worked closely with him is “a treasure."“A landmark work, this is essential reading for comics fans and those who want to better understand the history of the comics medium—or those who just want to enjoy Kirby’s incredible artwork.” —Publishers WeeklyJack Kirby played a major role in shaping the superhero genre, not only through his innovative, dynamic artwork but through collaborating with Stan Lee to create classic Marvel characters like the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and the X-Men.As a teenager, future television and comics writer Mark Evanier became an assistant to Kirby. Evanier has now written this magnificently illustrated biography of his mentor. Evanier tells Kirby’s life story in an informal, entertaining manner and brings Kirby’s personality vividly alive: a child of the Great Depression, a creative visionary who struggled most of his life to support his family.The stunning artwork in this book, taken from private collections, makes the case for Kirby’s genius.
