""I came across one of his 1970s Captain America comics and it immediately grabbed my attention. It was completely impressionistic-nothing looked quite right, but everything looked totally awesome. It's cliché to say, but it really blew my mind.""
""My office is full of comic book and sci-fi fans, myself included, so it was a no-brainer for me to get on board. Because Jack Kirby is less recognized than other comic book creators of the time, it's important that we honor Jack Kirby's contributions so that they are not forgotten.""

Kirby co-created many iconic Marvel characters, making his legacy significant in the comic book world.
