More significantly, he created much of the visual language for fantasy and adventure comics. There were comics before Kirby, but for the most part their page layout, graphics, and visual dynamic aped what was being done in syndicated newspaper strips. Almost everything that was different about comic books began in the 1940s on the drawing table of Jack Kirby. This is his story by one who knew him well-Mark Evanier. First issued in 2008, Kirby: King of Comics was the first overview of the legendary comic book creator's career. It is now available in a smaller, more affordable package, revised and expanded for Kirby's centennial. 606 $aCartoonists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aIllustrators$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aComic books, strips, etc$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCartoonists 615 0$aIllustrators 615 0$aComic books, strips, etc. 676 $a741.5092 700 $aEvanier$b Mark$01033270 702 $aGaiman$b Neil 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468000703321 996 $aKirby$92451709 997 $aUNINA
