From Marvel to DC, the comic book industry was built by some of the greatest writers and artists of the Golden Age, but nobody stands out quite like Jack Kirby. Having built his career alongside fellow luminaries like Stan Lee, Joe Simon, and Carmine Infantino, his unique art style and vision still set the blueprint today. Proving throughout his career that he could tell anything from war stories to cosmic adventure and fantasy, he gave readers a library of instant classics.Even some of the biggest Kirby fans have yet to read everything the artist-writer created during his career, with some sticking to his Marvel work, and others not reading his pre-’70s stories. As much as some would love to crown Stan Lee the man who created 616’s most enduring ideas, his legacy wouldn’t be what it is if not for The King. Over eighty years after his first comics, Jack Kirby is still the greatest comic book creator, and it isn’t even close.A refreshing break from his more cosmic stories, The Demon pulled Kirby into the world of supernatural horror, something many readers wish he’d have expanded. Today, Etrigan is surprisingly one of the artist’s best-known creations for DC, having starred in some of the company’s greatest stories, from Elseworlds to Swamp Thing adventures.
