One of the medium's most prolific artistic legends, Jack Kirby, "The King of Comics," was an artist, writer, and editor whose work spanned the Golden, Silver, Bronze and Modern ages of comics. Kirby created and co-created a multitude of Marvel and DC's most popular characters and many others, too. Kirby was one of the most respected artists of his time (though he didn't have personal knowledge of that, until later on), and remains so today.
Jack Kirby was one of comics most prolific creators ever. He designed more significant comic superheroes than anyone else. Which of these superheroes do you think was/is the most original?
Wow, this is a really great question! I can't really think of one. I don't associate Kirby with originality in his characters as much as I do in his artistic style and visual storytelling. That said, everything Kirby has done comes across as fresh, new, and exciting even if it has its predecessors.

Jack Kirby truly was the "King!" It's good to know others still appreciate his immense talent. Great avatat, btw. The Raiders are my favorite football team (hell, they're my favorite team period), though I'm rooting for the Steelers to beat the Packers in the Super Bowl tonight.
