As I've written before, I loved reading comic books when I was younger. My two favorite comic book artists were Steve Ditko for his occasional surreal psychedelic vistas, and Jack Kirby for both his muscular super-heroes and his action scenes. When I read that the Skirball Cultural Center was going to have a major Jack Kirby exhibit, I had to go.
I did not know that Kirby was Jewish, but I'm glad that that led the Skirball to hold this exhibit. I had not been there before.
It was fun seeing all the Kirby artwork. I never knew he worked for DC for a time, but that was in 1970, when I was no longer buying comic books.
