The Comics of Jack Kirby in Chronological order

[@kbar4462]

Great retrospect on the King!

[@mikebelbin]

Amazing how the short story adventures of the late 1950s, monsters versus people, become the superheroes of the early 60s, the "monster-people" of the Fantastic Four, the Hulk and a teenager becoming a spider.

True. It also bugs me how Stan Lee gets so much credit for characters that are just old creations of Kirby slightly altered.

I work with comics every day. What exactly is the "top ten" supposed to denote? Kamandi is a top ten but Avengers 1 and X-Men 1 aren't? How? In what world? (With respect, cool vid.)

@@frightmikesart Fair point. I tried to judge not the Avengers or X-Men as a whole, but Kirby’s specific run. For the Avengers, that was only 8 issues, for the X-Men it was 17. One can argue that the Avengers only became great after the issue 16 shake up, while the X-Men took more than a decade to become great. When I think of Lee and Kirby, I think of Fantastic Four, Thor, Captain America…

@@comicbelief Wow, that's very interesting and an unusual perspective but I respect it. I feel like all Kirby is great Kirby, regardless of his span on a particular series. Do you have a video like this for Ditko, Kubert, Wood, Buscema Bros, Romita? Those would be cool to do, I feel.

[@comicbelief]

@@frightmikesart I make more videos on writers than artists. Either because they appeal more to me or because I find words easier to judge than art. I did a video on Alex Ross a while back, and I did one on George Perez, which I’m yet to upload. More to come, certainly

[@frightmikesart]

@@comicbelief Oh I'll definitely check both those out, legends. Cool

[@madmania5080]

You missed a few.

Fantastic Four was my favourite. Shame the movie versions were all crap, but just goes to show that some aspects (i.e. Kirby's art) just don't translate to the silver screen.
