I Started reading comics around 1963, as
soon as I learned to read.. Before then, I
was only able to look at the pictures!

I was aware of Jack Kirby's artwork INSTANTY.
He was a great artist: His figures, machinery
and backgrounds were all drawn quite well!

I started reading the Fantastic Four around
issue 19 or so... Wow!!!!!!! Jack made an
impression on me!!

I'm an artist, too..though my forte is portraits
and landscapes, I did draw superheroes. I'm not
one hundreth as good as Jack ( Or my OTHER
artistic idol, Curt Swan, who as you know drew
Superman for many years!! )

Jack was excellent at portaying emotions on his
characters, and drawing anything from a Battle scene
to just having his characters discussing plans.

I was sad to hear of his death.
That was several years ago now.
I wish I'd have met him. I've heard
he was a very nice man.

He left a fine legacy..Many years of
excellent art and story telling.

And many years of inspiration, to large
numbers of comic book readers, young and
not so young.

Thank you , Jack. You were one of the
great ones.
