‘Heroes and Humanity’ Retrospective Honoring Jack Kirby, Creator of Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther and The X-Men, Opens in Los Angeles


Jack Kirby, creator of Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther and The X-Men, is receiving a ‘Heroes and Humanity’ retrospective at Los Angeles' Skirball Center

As the creator of the Avengers, Black Panther, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Iron Man, the Silver Surfer, Thor and the X-Men among many other characters, comic book artist Jack Kirby more than earned the nickname “The King.” But starting May 1, Los Angeles’ Skirball Cultural Center will exhibit a retrospective, “ Jack Kirby: Heroes and Humanity, ” showcasing rare original artwork and comics as well as personal effects such as his U.S. army uniform. “Kirby infused his fanciful stories and imagined worlds with mythical and biblical content and real-world relevance,” she added, “which is in part why his work is so rich and continues to inspire creatives to this day.”
