Jack Kirby - Masters & Creators: Episode 4 (Documentary)

[@dragonsundancing]

I enjoyed your video; thank you. My take on Jack Kirby can be summed up this way: if you take the spirits of Homer and Michelangelo , and you put them together in one incarnation, you have Jack Kirby. As far as Stan Lee goes, yes, he was a marketing genius, it's true. To his everlasting disgrace, that wasn't enough for him; his narcissism made him claim credit for Jack Kirby's storytelling genius. In short ,he completely betrayed the man who built the foundation of his fame and fortune. The late Mr. Lee was an awful man, in my opinion.

RIP Kirby, Marvel did him dirty

Jack Kirby was a loving father and a creative force in comics. he was abused by the industry that he helped create. ALL HAIL THE KING!

[@Seek1878]

"Didn't want Green Arrow to be a Batman clone" I guess the creators of the Arrow TV show missed that memo, lol.

[@Ahmed_AlNeama]

I just binge-watched all of your videos on Viewster. They are SO GOOD!. please make more #Obsessed

[@hmd3278]

I always thought that Jack Kirby deserved way more credit than he gets. Rest in Peace. Great video of course, as always

[@CryptidZeker415]

Great video man. Couldn't have been easy to condense the history of Jack Kirby in an 11m video

[@TheDuck632]

Great to see a young buck giving love to the king keep up the good work please and thank you

[@jaymiiwilde3772]

Faust i just have to say I've been watching your videos for years and I've gotta say you're one of the best and most underrated channels on youtube. I love your work!

[@randalwung8715]

Dude, you’re such a well-informed young man. If I was to direct an indie film with a young David Bowie talking about his undocumented love of comics, you’d be SO cast. As for the video, you summed things up very well. What comes to mind for me is friend and former assistant Mark Evanier’s comment that Jack Kirby isn’t just part of the history of comics, he IS comics. You mentioned Simon and Kirby's romance books; what I’d like to add is the team is credited with CREATING the genre-and as someone who always had zero interest in romance comics, let me say they're damn good. As for Jack seeing active duty in WWII, well, those crazy, harrowing experiences were something he dreamed about the rest of his life, and if you got together with the man he’d just as soon talk war stories as he would comic books. Along with the Lower East Side/Brooklyn upbringing you pointed out, those real-life sources fed not just his printed work but his world view. And if anyone wants to read some of the best war comics EVER (Neil Gaiman says they’re the only ones he’s ever really enjoyed and I’m in the same boat), check out Jack’s short run on DC’s The Losers. They’re basically Kirby-fied versions of his war years and, I shit you not, possibly the BEST stuff he ever did. Keep up the good work. I’m gonna watch your Grant Morrison video next. Grant has always given serious props to Jack as a WRITER, so I have mad respect for him; and if anyone is The King’s heir apparent in how they approach comics, it’s Mr. Morrison.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh the losers,,,,my favourite story is the losers GHOST STORY ,,,

[@randalwung8715]

@@simonedwards5564 Good one. Then there's the Brit dreaming about being killed by a demon in Burma; the black American and a white German runners reliving their Olympic race across a mine field; the Kirby-sized Nazi cannon, Big Max, being destroyed with the help of a sci-fi/comic geek. For those who say the King couldn’t write, just hand ‘em The Losers collection. The actual WWII stuff he went through, combined with his own larger-than-life sense of scale and drama, is, for me at least, more engaging and readable and fun than any war book DC, EC, or Warren ever put out.

[@narutoxonepiece15]

Nice to see Kirby's influenced done so well he's not as well known but he deserves recognition only Bill Finger is discredit for work he did and I think support should be given on a more public scale for the people who worked on such influential works

[@jp2000ism]

Dude this was a very solid video. I’m honestly so obsessed with this series and with me wanting to be a comic book writer myself this gives me a lot of insight on who to look up to💯

[@stevevondoom4140]

love this series. thanks for posting

[@douglasbriel6103]

Love your channel. Would love an episode on Jack's Fighting American.

[@Kopaka808]

Hail to the King!

[@chuckcarson7972]

you've done very well on this whole series. either your acting skills are starting to shine through, or you're incredibly impassioned about your subjects. either way, congrats

[@KarennTingle2000]

Thank you Mr. Faust this Masters and Creator series is simply the BEST! Masterpiece and Enlightening! And what is that intro music you are using for this series? Love it!

[@thebaggytrouseredone]

I’m loving this new series.

[@lexiscarlet2927]

Im loving this series!

[@joshualeon3223]

*BRAVO!*

[@jayshiggs]

Only watched a couple of your videos but you're good. You seem very knowledgable, honest but fair. Keep it up.

[@DMX-PAT]

Western and horror comics are so cool!!

[@braylonbondsa4274]

I LOVE YOUR COMIC BOOK VIDEOS AND YOUR HAIR LOOKS GOOD

[@tollo004]

Nice work.

[@titanoflight2930]

Loved the video can't wait for the next one

[@ChroniclesofNoria]

Perfection as always. Thank you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Viewster will eventually stop giving me that whole "content can't be filmed in your region" spiel so I can add to your Viewster views.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Yay jack the king Kirby

[@DrewCrew510]

well done

[@masterofsilence649]

Really cool, It's been a while since the last time I saw your videos, glad I came back haha

[@HypArtz002]

I would like you to explain the jack Kirby case

[@smalltropolis144]

Every time I see the picture, where the parents are burning all that comic books, I must cry ... 🙈

[@chrisnunez9974]

I can't wait for your next videos. Thank you so much for this. The king of comics needs to be heard. He created so many character. It is sad both companies treat all their writers bad in those days. I hated that Stanley taken too much credit for Kirbys work. Wished people know who is the true king of comics

[@lucariomew365]

I'm excited for Grant Morrison. Non-comicbook writers like J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, C.S. Lewis, J.K. Rowling were huge influences for my favorite genre of storytelling. But of all the writers that I know of, Grant Morrison and Neil Gaiman were a huge contributing factor to my admittedly unhealthy obsession with mysticism, mythology, and the occult🤔.

[@chris-eg]

GRANT MORRISSON!! woo!! Invisibles!! doom patrol! manz a legend..and still creating

[@nikolasmokalis3425]

Chris Egbuonu I believe he previously did a video about him!

[@milesformiles9564]

[@lordmoy666]

[@braylonbondsa4274]

YOU THE BEST SUPER HERO NERD I HAVE EVEY SEEN YOU KNOW THE WRITERS AND THE SUPER HEROS AND ON YOUR COMIC BOOK HISTORY CHANAL DO A HISTORY OF EVERY AMAGLE UNIVERSE CHARATER

[@theHedgex1]

rip Kirby and now stan lee

[@toyhunter2903]

What about the creator of Spider-Man? I mean Steve Ditko, he died in 2018 too, just 5 months before Stan Lee died and nobody cared. But when the mascot of Marvel dies everybody loses their minds. Thank you Steve Ditko for Spider-Man and Doctor Strange.
