Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics #[nn]

Tom Scioli's graphic biography brings the life of Jack Kirby to the page in vivid style, and the cover sets the tone beautifully — a young Jack, pencil in hand, leans over a drawing board as a burst of energy radiates behind him, suggesting a creative force just beginning to take shape. Published by Ten Speed Press in 2020, this fully illustrated biography is written, drawn, inked, lettered, and colored by Scioli (with additional color by Bill Crabtree), making it a remarkably personal labor of love. If you've ever wanted to understand the man behind so much of what defines the medium, this is a compelling place to start.
