- Jack Kirby Biography -
by Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman
Originally published in Kirby Unleashed by Communicators Unlimited: Newbury Park, CA. 1972
Like many of today's success stories, it all begins with a birth date on the Lower East Side of New York City. The birth date was August 28, 1917, and the Kurtzberg family was one more strong. And the growing up period is not entirely atypical, either: Street-fighting, the usual childhood activities, and the burgeoning instinct of self-preservation were all a part of it. And, too, there was the foreshadowing of what was to come - the doodles cluttering every available scrap of paper, the 'wasted' afternoons at the movies... the profound interest in stories. That, more than anything else, occupied young Jack's time. Schooling was not the best and certainly inadequate in the field of creative writing and art.

. . . .and some WEIRDNESS is involved !
The song Magneto & Titanium Man appeared on the 1975 album Venus & Mars by the band Wings - former Beatle Paul McCARTNEY's group with his wife Linda and others. While on the subsequent Wings Over America leg of their Wings Over the World tour, they performed three shows at the Los Angeles Forum in Inglewood, California. Brothers Steve and Gary SHERMAN arranged for Jack KIRBY to meet the band backstage, where Kirby presented McCartney with this 14" by 17" pencil drawing. McCartney dedicated that night's performance of the song to Kirby, who, along with wife Roz, daughter Lisa and the Sherman brothers, were given complimentary nearly-front row tickets.
Not only was the concert filmed and portions used in concert movie "Rockshow" and the television special "Wings Over The World", but an audience audio recording exists where Kirby is introduced.
In "Rockshow", Wings member Denny LAINE introduced the song and he's heard saying, "Where are ya, Jack? Rock it!"

I knew after I held one in my hand for the first time.
I knew that it was always meant to be this way and really, it came quite naturally. Everyone around me thought I should be out playing football, that I should be like the other boys, but I just wasn’t. I was meant to be right where I was, eyes focused on my prize in anticipation. I admired every inch of it, and I didn’t want to put it down. I couldn’t. I gripped it firmly but delicately the entire time I held it, and then it was over.
I had read my first comic. (What were you thinking?!)

Very Confusing.
"What you’ll see below certainly isn’t the best match ever played in Marvel vs Capcom 3, but it does have an ending that will interest just about everyone who follows the game. You need to see it for yourself, but the short version of the story is that Phoenix dies with 5 meters, the meters drain, but she does not resurrect. It would be amazing if all of the fighting game scientists out there could try to figure out how and why this happened, and try to reproduce its effect. Thanks to Offcast for the clip, and Warren for the tip."

the archetypes of 4 COLOR post industrial COMICS !
( a TOME o' the GODS ) - the "New Gods",....perhaps ?
[ For Grant Morrison, possibly the greatest of contemporary superhero storytellers, these heroes are not simply characters but powerful archetypes whose ongoing, decades-spanning story arcs reflect and predict the course of human existence: Through them, we tell the story of ourselves. In this exhilarating book, Morrison draws on history, art, mythology, and his own astonishing journeys through this alternate universe to provide the first true chronicle of the superhero-why they matter, why they will always be with us, and what they tell us about who we are. }
Thats a RIGHT ON, baby,....way kewl ! HUZZAH ! Its about TIME someone wrote this.
+^d !
( King Kirby had a clue what this genre is all about )
