Nick Fury of Shield was my favorite. And there was a one-shot, the Three Rocketeers in 1965. Jack, you are one of the Good Guys. Thank you so much. Robert Jack Kirby gave me a good time.

Jack was my uncle through marriage. I only met him twice, at my cousin's wedding in NYC and at another uncle's house in Monticello, NY. He was a genuinely down to earth guy. I never knew until many years later how famous he was (is). He was not the least bit pretentious. Just a nice guy with a thousand intersting stories.

His talented eye for perspective will always be dazzling and stylish. If anyone deserves the acknowledgement of merit it is Jack Kirby.

Kind could either draw, or write, but not both at the same time. I still think Jason Blood looks like Peter Parker.

Reading 2 colour and black and white reprints in the UK Mighty World Of Marvel in my preteen years in the early 70's, hunting down copies of Kamandi and Devil Dinosaur and Black Panther a little later through to reading Captain Victory and Silver Star in the 80's, Jack Kirby was a constant source of entertainment even though he was never top of my comics list. The king is dead, but thanks to Essentials and Showcase etc, LONG LIVE THE KING.

Possibly the best part of Jack's run on the FF. The energy that radiates out of those panels has never gotten old to me. In fact, the older I get, the more I appreciate him. I had the pleasure of having lunch with Jack and Roz, among others, at a Denny's in 1989, during a convention I worked at. He was a truly decent person... and if we put any modern cartoonist under the scrutiny we put the King (and Kurtzman) under, no one would be any good! God bless ya Jack, whever you are.
