"And I was thinking how the world should have cried / On the day Jack Kirby died"
Jack Kirby’s been gone 30 years now. Born August 28, 1917, died on February 6, 1994.
Every year at this time, I give Monster Magnet’s tune “Melt” a spin. The above lyrics are from that song.
I never did get a chance to meet Jack. But then again, sure I did:
I remember meeting Kirby once circa 1986 at the original Golden Apple site, gawd, when Big Bill was still alive tooo. My uncle had just come into a 70s collection he'd bought and I had a bunch of DC New Gods and Forever People signed. Ah!!
