This past week saw the birthday of comic book legend Jack Kirby. Writer and comics historian Mark Evanier worked for Kirby during the '70s and remained close friends with him during the latter part of Kirby's career. Evanier often mentions Kirby in his blog, and in honor of Jack's birthday posted a rare photo of the King surrounded by some of the heroes he worked on, and the story behind it.
Mark also touches on the influence Richard Nixon had on Kirby's writing. Seriously.
