FEEDBACK

Loved Geoff Boucher’s story on Jack King Kirby (“A Credit to His Name,” Sept. 27). It’s richly deserved that Kirby is finally getting a little attention, although far too little too late, for his contributions to comics and American culture.

I was a huge Marvel comics fan when young and stopped reading them in my teens. I thought it was disinterest, but I realized late in life that I lost interest mainly because Kirby had left Marvel. They had a lot of artists go through Marvel and DC, but only a few were magic for me, people like Kirby, Steve Ditko, Barry Smith and Jim Steranko.

So, instead of a Marvel fan, I guess I’m really a huge Kirby fan.

I have high hopes that Lisa Kirby and her kin can get some of the rewards that the “King” never saw.
