Jack Kirby's Favorite Stories

Elana Levin (host, Graphic Policy Radio podcast) and Adam McGovern (columnist, Jack Kirby Collector's Kirby as a Genre) join the Kirby Museum's Tom Kraft and Rand Hoppe for an in-depth discussion of the stories Jack Kirby said were his favorites. One is well-known, from his groundbreaking Fourth World at DC in the early 1970s, New Gods #7's "The Pact!" The other is not as well known, from his Boys' Ranch comic with partner Joe Simon in the early 1950s, "Mother Delilah."

I love Elana's 1981 spectacles! So retro! But her appreciation of metaphysical sci fi is to plotz-for!

These were great choices to review, the Pact is definitely a great contained story of the New Gods past. It’s sad that these one issue or 6 to 10 pages of story telling is not done very often, if not at all nowadays. Now these writers in current comics are stretching the the story to the point of a water downed product that takes 12 to 50 issues to get some sort of conclusion and for me it’s less satisfying than the older comics.
