Jack Kirby: The Epic Life of the King of Comics

Tom Scioli’s graphic biography for Ten Speed Press, launched in 2020, is a single-issue, full-length comic that vividly chronicles the life and career of Jack Kirby, the legendary “King of Comics.” Written and drawn entirely by Scioli, the book distills Kirby’s epic, decades-long journey from his Brooklyn childhood to his foundational work at Marvel and DC, capturing the creative fire and personal struggles behind the man who co-created the modern superhero. It’s a passionate, visually dynamic tribute that matters as both a definitive biography and a work of art in its own right.
