My god, what this man was doing day after day, week after week, month after month. This is the true Marvel Age of creation by the King. Kirby’s legacy continues to inspire current and future generations of artists, designers, and fans. Jack Kirby (1917–1994) remains one of the most influential and revered comic book creators of all time, and his cover work for Marvel Comics is particularly celebrated. Seeing these in exactly the order they were published, month by month, is amazing. This is the birth of the most amazing comics of the Silver Age. - Bud "Jack Kirby [portrait] should be on money. These legendary covers are just one of the ten reasons why." - Brian Michael Bendis
