I realised in the early hours this morning: yesterday was the tenth anniversary of the death of comic book legend Jack Kirby. I haven’t really read many comics in the last decade or so, but Kirby will always stand tall. Hard to believe it’s been so long.
Thanks to films like the X-Men series, I guess more people know his name today than ever before. Cheers, Jack.
Yeah, I know how you feel. I remember last July 2nd – 18th anniversary of David Purley’s fatal aeroplane accident…
who is david purley, lol ?
This should explain it :

The X2 DVD has a nice big picture of Jack at the drawing board from the early ’60s, right at the beginning of the creation documentary. If you turn down the volume, you can almost imagine Stan telling it like it was.
