TALES FROM MY SPINNER RACK LIVE
In 1975, after five incredibly creative — and frustrating — years at DC, writer-artist Jack Kirby returned to Marvel. Over the next few years, he would create titles such as The Eternals and Devil Dinosaur, while also working on Captain America and Black Panther, two characters he co-created. This is the beginning of the final years of the King of Comics’ 50+ year career, which also saw him work in animation in Hollywood and introduce brand-new characters for companies like Pacific Comics and Topps. Moderator Gary Sassaman (former director of programming and publications for Comic-Con) talks to Kirby experts Mark Evanier (author, Kirby: King of Comics) and TwoMorrows publisher John Morrow (editor of the Jack Kirby Collector) about the final years of the King, including details on Morrow’s new book, Marvelmation: Jack Kirby’s Final Act in Comics & Animation.

Friday, July 24 – 8:00pm in the Indigo Ballroom, Hilton San Diego Bayfront

With special video appearances by editors Jon B. Cooke, Roger Ash, and Peter Normanton.

THE ANNUAL JACK KIRBY TRIBUTE PANEL
Discussing Jack Kirby and his work this year are Mike Royer (Kirby’s favorite inker), Jack’s grandkids Tracy & Jeremy Kirby, Roy Schwartz (who spearheaded the recent renaming of a New York intersection as Jack Kirby Way), attorney Paul S. Levine, and maybe a few others. As always, it’s moderated by former Kirby assistant Mark Evanier.

We can’t wait to see you there!
