I had hoped to write a few paragraphs about Jack Kirby—who would’ve turned 103 on Aug. 28, 2020. However deadlines and life have kept me from that and other things I was planning for this week. But if you Google “Jack Kirby” you’ll find hundreds of sites with tributes better than anything I could come up with about the man who has justifiably been called “the King” of comics.
Instead, I’m posting the first page of the Marvel story that my two-part Kirby/Colletta webcomics are pulled from. I don’t feel comfortable posting more than that. It’s copyright, of course, Marvel Comics and appears here only for promotional and informational purposes.

It’s strange, my mother’s maiden name was….. OH MY GOD!!!!
That would make a great name for a comic book or TV series!
All her children, even the boys, were named Karen. Apple/tree comes to mind.
