Captain America Co-Creator Jack Kirby Getting Definitive Documentary ‘Kirbyvision’ (EXCLUSIVE)
The 'Kirbyvision' doc will explore the legacy of Jack Kirby, the artist who co-created Captain America and shaped Marvel's universe of superheroes.
“Kirbyvision,” a definitive feature documentary about legendary comic book artist and creator Jack Kirby, is in development with acclaimed filmmaker Ricki Stern (“Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work,” “UFOs: Investigating the Unknown”) set to direct. Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential creators in comics history, Kirby co-created Captain America with Joe Simon in 1941, famously depicting the superhero punching Adolf Hitler on the first issue’s cover months before the U.S. entered World War II. “Whether noble underdogs battling extraordinary villains, lowly soldiers in the trenches ripped from his own battlefield experiences, remarkably prescient looks at our potential technological future, or man’s relation to the divine nature of the gods, Kirby’s tales are as universal and human as they are mythic and cosmic in their scope,” notes the production team.
