Jack Kirby is BleedingCool

Via BleedingCool.com on Warren Ellis’s new column “Do Anything,” an anecdote told by Mark Evanier of “King” Jack Kirby:

Kirby liked to innovate, not follow. His attitude was best summed up a few years later when he read that some new artist would be taking over on Captain America and hoped “to do it in the Kirby tradition.”

Said Jack, “This kid doesn’t get it. The Kirby tradition is to create a new comic.”
