Mark Evanier is very eloquent on the topic of Jack Kirby. Both Jack and his wife Roz were wonderful people.
Sorry! Is his real name Kurtzberg or Kurtzburg ? Britannica says Kurtzberg.80.184.128.98 17:24, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC) I'm a German

[edit] Citation needed
Mark Evanier is indeed a fine and important historian and witness whom I cite often myself. But we can't just say "Mark Evanier revealed..." WHERE did he reveal it? Can you link to a column? Can you say where you read it? This needs to be cited -- that's just the way Wikipedia or any encyclopedia is; sources have to be given. Someone outside comics using this an an encyclopedia has no idea who Mark is. --Tenebrae 15:14, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kirbyesque?
well... so what is anything that is "kirbyesque"? --euyyn 16:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I mean, what defines its style? --euyyn 16:50, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. There needs to be a section on what makes is style unique. For me, it's the classic foreshortened outstretched hand with sqaure fingertips. He also drew incredibly complex hi-tech weapons and gadgets. --68.103.154.140 04:03, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

- Ah, yes, the trademark "Kirby machines" that practically covered the interior of Kirby's Baxter Building layouts, and went to greater heights in his New Gods works. Does anyone know of a citeable source for the catchphrase "Kirby machine"? I wanted to add it to the article, perhaps under Legacy or in the same paragraph that mentions Kirby dots--I've heard many comics fans use that term for Kirby's stylized technology--but I can't find any site online that uses the term. -- Pennyforth 18:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List of his characters
There should be a list of all the characters Jack Kirby created

[edit] Discrepancy
I pose to you a conundrum. If Jack Kirby died in 1994, how did he address the 1998 San Diego ComicCon? One of those dates is incorrect, howver, i'm not sure which, if somone could verify and edit it would make us all a little happier. CodyM 09:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Nevermind, I figured it out, misread on my part. CM
[edit] query
Kirby is popularly acknowledged by comics creators and fans as one of the greatest and most influential artists in the history of comics.
Surely that should be "english speaking comics" - I don't see much evidence of his influence in BDs and the like?
