George , Milo (Editor). The Comics Journal Library: Jack Kirby. Seattle, Washington. Fantagraphics Books. May 2002. 120 pps. 8vo. First edition. Softcover. fine copy with no dust jacket. Jack Kirby launches, in oversize format, the Comics Journal Library, meant to collect interviews and essays from throughout the magazine's 25-year run. Kirby (1917-93), perhaps the most influential of all comic-book artists, is best known for his lengthy stint at Marvel Comics, where, with scripter Stan Lee, he defined the modern superhero with such creations as the Fantastic Four and the Hulk. His career began in the early 1940s, when he co-created Captain America. It has been estimated that he drew some 25,000 pages over the course of half a century. In addition to three sizable interviews with Kirby and his wife, the volume includes critical assessments and four pieces covering Kirby's battle with Marvel over creative rights and ownership of his original drawings. His distinctively dynamic artwork appears on nearly every page of this overdue tribute that, like the latest special edition, demonstrates that comics can sustain the same sort of critical and historical treatment as other art forms.
