KIRBY IS GOD.
Stan Lee's only real talents are alliteration and relentless self promotion.

Oh my god! For a second there I thought you said Jack "St. Clair" Kilby the father of the integrated circuit.
Back to the drawing board.

The first time I saw Jack Kirby's work I was about twelve, and I just couldn't quite put my head around it, 'cause at first glance, it just looked like typical super-hero stuff that I wasn't really into. But this was some of his weirder stuff...a space-man discovering an alien musical-organ of some sort that had its own head and played itself. Guh, wha? I never looked at super-hero comics the same way.
That Incan Visitation is incredible!

Kirby's Kamandi: the Last Boy on Earth was my favorite comic when I was a kid. I was mindblown, every issue. I still have almost all of them. I've never, before or since, so loved a comic. |

Kamandi issue 10 damaged me as an 8 year old. It was crawling with insane giant bat-men, a giant germ called morticoccus (it was the size of a loaf of bread), a creepy big headed mentalist, cool metal guys and Kamandi himself running around in cut-offs armed only with a carbine. Rendered in Kirby's sui generis style of illustration, the whole madhouse threatened to spill out on to your lap. Having experienced nothing stronger than Spider-Man and the occasional issue of the flash up to that point, I was sucked in to the Kirby vortex, and have yet to escape. All hail King Kirby!
