Overview

Kirby's dynamic art and limitless imagination were responsible for much of what made comics great from the 1940s through to the 70s. He was responsible for the creation of Captain America in the WW2 era, and for the romance comics genre that dominated the industry in the 1950s. As the creative vision behind Marvel comics in the 60s, Kirby (with Stan Lee) rejuvenated superheroes with such characters as the Fantastic Four, The Hulk, Thor and The X Men. A marvelous retrospective of his life and work, featuring interviews, essays and the very best of his artwork and words.
