Instead, I will make a post to honor the King of Comics, Jack Kirby.
He was born exactly one hundred years ago today, August 28, 1917. Undoubtedly the single most influential artist (if not the most influential person) in comics. His creations and influences are just too long to list here but man, was he a creator. Captain America, almost all of the early Marvel art, invented romance comics during a superhero lull, incredible runs at both Marvel and DC...I could go on and on and on...
Happy birthday, Jack!
(As an added bonus, here is an io9 article with a great video where other comic creators talk about Kirby's influence)
