Summary : The biography of Jacob Kurtzberg, aka Jack Kirby, aka the King of Comics. From his lowly beginnings as a newspaper hawker to drawing comic book heroes, we see the man doing what he is good at doing: creating. Creating stories, creating fantasy, creating characters, creating never before seen artistic illustrations, and creating comic book lore. Yet, he did not necessarily do it out of love for his profession, but out of love for his family. That love of family entails a man's responsibility of taking care of his loved ones, so Jack did. Yes, he enjoyed what he did and he was good at it, but if Jack could have found a better way to earn money, he would have leaped at the chance. During his time, the profession of comic book artist paid very little and received even smaller recognition. Throughout his career, Jack craved respect, but seldom got it; however, this did not deter Jack from continuing to fight for it, no matter who the publisher was, or the format. Ja
