Happy Birthday, Jack Kirby: A Wondrous Week Celebrating the King
Review Marvel.com's loving look back at one of the architects of the House of Ideas!

This impact—both overt and subconscious—has resonated since Kirby's early days with a new character called Captain America, into his remarkable run with the Fantastic Four, through his veteran pursuits with the Eternals, until now.
