Jack Kirby, known around the world for being one of the most prolific and successful comic book artists, was born August 28, 1917 in New York City. He learned to draw comics by tracing them from the papers and in 1940, he was hired by Timely Comics, where he co-created one of the best heroes of all times, Captain America.
In the 60's, he teamed up with Stan Lee at Atlas Comics which would become Marvel. There he and Lee co-created...well,...just about everybody. In the 70's Kirby went back to DC Comics where he created the Fourth World Saga and New Gods.
Kirby passed away February 6, 1994 from heart failure.
