Creator

Today is Jack Kirby's 100th birthday!

Jack Kirby, the single greatest creator in the history of the comic book art form. The list of the characters his mind produced for various comic book companies boggles the mind. He conceived them, he wrote their stories, and he brought them to life in illustrated sequential format.

Keep in mind that he never had a "co-creator" with the sole exception of one of his business partners (Joe Simon). The so-called "co-creator" often linked to his name was a salaried no-talent company shill who existed only to enable a corporation to steal Kirby's intellectual property.

The fact that Kirby was able to keep producing amazing stories for children and young adults even as he was being robbed is the evidence of his willpower and his love for his family and his fans.

Kirby, the Creator.
