www.afnews.info segnala: Jack Kirby (28 August 1917 – 6 February 1994, USA) was a prolific and influential comics creator throughout his life.

He was a primary creator of the ‘monster stories’ that defined Atlas in the 1950s and from 1960 he collaborated with Stan Lee on creating many of the feature that defined the Silver Age of Marvel Comics — including “Fantastic Four” (1961), “The Incredible Hulk” (1962), and “The X-Men” (1963).

Moving to DC in 1970, he created the Fourth World titles. Later in the decade he worked again at Marvel, at independent publishers such as Pacific, and in television animation.
