What a shame he didn't live long enough to see his creations become some of the biggest names in pop entertainment. I'm sure he could have got a cameo like Walt Simonson and Ed Brubaker.
Your teaching episodes are my absolute favorites of all of TH-cam. You are able to dig deeper in these topics and bring back summaries that are fun and easy to follow. Love this creator's series.
Still happening today. Artists, in all industries, games, comics, and movies are looked at as worthless replaceable employee numbers, not people. Glad to see artists going out on their own so they control their property.
I love that you are back!!! i was so heartbroken last month when you said you would end your channel......but i love that you are doing once again what you love and what you are passionate about....best of luck for your future
Comicbookgirl19 - Will never see this but your genuine appreciation and presentation of some subjects like the X-Men and Jack Kirby...is so good and true of heart it actually brings a tear to my eye and reminds me why I loved these creators and their creations so dearly as a kid. Stuff I could never explain without being laughed at by most people I've met and wouldn't dare try. They were more than fantasy, they are a living, breathing mythology. Lightning in a bottle. You totally get it. I've almost forgotten that elusive spark that ignited the soul and the imagination as an adult but just watching your videos when you talk about the things we both love stirs something in me. Exactly what Jack Kirby said, the Source. This was so damn good. You and your channel really are quite remarkable. Im too poor but want to give you money or a hug or something. I'd die for friends like you. The Dreamers. So precious few and far between.
I'm really enjoying these "creators" videos. It bring back the feel of your History of the X-Men videos (still waiting for episode 4). Keep up the great work CBG19.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." (Theodore Roosevelt)
Cept for the camera cutting your head off at the beginning, fabulous and fantastic production and presentation. I really like when you became less of a presenter and more of your enthusiastic self. So glad to hear your presentation of how Kirby influenced the creation of these iconic characters. Now I vividly understand his contribution. Thank you.
Marie Duran and yet never got the recognition he always deserved. From what i hear he was never fully payed for his work. Which is why he went to dc comics. He even created Darkseid and the new gods.
Right on Comic Book Girl! Good retrospective. As a kid in the sixties, I loved Kirby's Marvel work and followed the Fourth World saga when that came out.
Very happy to see you making content like this again. I originally came to your channel after watching Epic History X-Men. Seeing content that you're passionate about makes all the difference. Keep it up!
5:17 Good video. Not enough is widely known or said about Kirby. What I find interesting is that Simon/Kirby were such a popular brand that the two backlogged a ton of stuff to get printed while they were at war. Later, they had ghost artists draw in Kirby's style under the duo's byline (including Gil Kane). After the war Kirby invented romance comics when super-heroes weren't selling. He was well known and pioneering years before Marvel.
Not much a creator myself but I got inspired I'm translating the cc for ＮＥＷ ＧＯＤＳ ft. Jack Kirby ( Ｍｅａｎｉｎｇｗａｖｅ ® ) video theirs a message in that video that needs to be shared. Thanks for sharing CB19!
LOL This retrospect is similar to what I have written 4 years ago but handled so much better! Great breakdown on the history of the King. It was Kirby that inspired me to draw and got me into comics and so forth. Hail to the King baby!

Great episode! J. Scott Campbell said when he got hired by Image that production of the first run of Gen 13 required him to complete 3 finished pages a day. He worked 14 to 16 hour shifts to achieve the goal. Working a month behind your publishing date is an incredible stress. At the time of print media being the primary distribution method, this was the best way to make the most money by printing only popular titles (no internetz). Today we have the modern convenience of instant digital distribution, allowing for more humane production timelines. This empowers creators to spend more time on art/writing and production, allowing for greater quality and diversity in the medium.
Thanks for your work. I'm a huge fan of the king and I appreciate your take on it. I also believe that Star Wars owes a lot to Kirby. May the Source be with you! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your shows on other creators. Thanks again!!!
Really interesting artists surprise you with their artwork. There are people who are incredibly good and nothing else. Kirby is the absolute best most talented "bad artist" there is. At first glance his artwork is rough, ugly thick lines, ape-like poses, distorted faces, weird areas he seemingly couldn't draw right, but when you look at the image as a whole it's AMAZING, it explodes all over the page, all the ugly rough work is pure genius ... Hail King Kirby !!!
Kirby was not just the most AMAZING! artist in comics (and maybe in the history of the USA) but he was also an INCREDIBLY nice guy. He often invited people (including myself and my best friend) to come see him at his house in Thousand Oaks CA. He'd say, "I'm in the phone book. Stop by anytime!"
I will always love Jack Kirby's work. Him along with Stan Lee created one of my favorite characters of all time, Daredevil. I will forever be thankful for that
Kirby created mythology that felt like mythology. He gave us techno-mythology for a modern age in Thor, New Gods, Eternals and The Inhumans. They all had sprawling casts and were epic in scope in ways that no modern creator can match. The New Gods especially. It felt like true mythology. And no one, and I mean no one, has been able to depict raw, seething energy like Jack Kirby. Long live the King!
If you look at DC’s Sea Devils, that series is actually the character template for the FF, with the Challengers being a visual inspiration for the FF in their first issue.
I can't think of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee without thinking of Roger the Stan Lee Experience. "Jack Kirby was my best friend. He died a peniless bastard. And that is what gets me up in the morning"
I might be entirely too high for this video right now, but was amazing to watch. As an artist and fan of your work, i appreciate this particular series. I gotta get off my ass and hit the table...
Jack Kirby was a writer too. In fact Stan Lee said this... "Some artists, such as Jack Kirby, need no plot at all. I mean I'll just say to Jack, "Let's let the next villain be Dr.Doom"... or I may not even say that. He may tell me. And then he goes home and does it. He’s so good at plots, I’m sure he’s a thousand times better than I. He just about makes up the plots for these stories. All I do is a little editing…"
That's false, Jack Kirby brought Science and Mythology to the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee was the editor who took credit for other people's ideas because he was the face of the company. Fantastic Four was based on Jack Kirby's Challengers of The Unknown Saying Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were equal is unfair, Jack Kirby created Marvel
@@AliFareedMC Jack Kirby cared more about writing God characters and epic stories. Stan made Kirby draw flawed human with imperfect lives who are slo superheroes. Kirby's writing in his solo work is nothing like when he worked with Stan.
This was a really great documentary on the true Creator who made Marvel what it's known for today. While you didn't touch upon the huckster nature of Stan lee's relationship with Jack Kirby, you didn't give Stan Lee the exaggerated amount of credit that he gets for things he never had the capacity to create or even dream of so that's good.
I love all the hard work and dedication you put into your videos. I wish you would get way more recognition.keep it up, we love you 😍😘
What a shame he didn't live long enough to see his creations become some of the biggest names in pop entertainment. I'm sure he could have got a cameo like Walt Simonson and Ed Brubaker.
Always excited for more videos of jack kirby. In general all of this videos are great.
Almost anyone who's read comics knows about Jack Kirby.
Marvel, DC, Both owe a Ton to the King
True
True
And yet his bogged cameo in the media was in a TMNT cartoon
Don't forget Steve Ditko he was very instrumental and just as important.
Your teaching episodes are my absolute favorites of all of TH-cam. You are able to dig deeper in these topics and bring back summaries that are fun and easy to follow. Love this creator's series.
It's sad to see how passionate you were, and the go90 projects left you so dead eyed and drained. Thank you for getting me back into comics.
Love this part of her show.
The new format is good. Keep rock'n. Jack Kirby was a pioneer of an entire industry.
Hate new format. Too clean. Miss the b-movie garage vibes
Too pro-looking. Also, generic.
Still happening today. Artists, in all industries, games, comics, and movies are looked at as worthless replaceable employee numbers, not people. Glad to see artists going out on their own so they control their property.
The gaming industry seriously needs a union or huge overhaul of how it treats it's creators.
I love that you are back!!! i was so heartbroken last month when you said you would end your channel......but i love that you are doing once again what you love and what you are passionate about....best of luck for your future
Jake Kirby's name should be know by everyone that enjoys comic book movies. He helped create most of marvel and some of DC.
This is the only reason I know what Go90 ever was. Glad to see it going up on your channel for the people that missed them!
Holy shit!! That ending, the quotes with music were epic as fuck. Great job. Continue this series.

You're by far the most underappreciated Geek commentator on the Interwebs. Thx for doing these.

Pelida Duli, excellent quote.:)
This kind of video was much needed. I can't wait to see more

So glad to hear your presentation of how Kirby influenced the creation of these iconic characters. Now I vividly understand his contribution. Thank you.
Wow this was amazing, love your energy
Think about it, he was putting out that much before the days of computer animation.
Marie Duran and yet never got the recognition he always deserved. From what i hear he was never fully payed for his work. Which is why he went to dc comics. He even created Darkseid and the new gods.

Love it! Glad to have you back, CGB!
Brilliant production and delivery, CBG19. I really hope you dont quit the TH-cam platform for good.
We don't call him jack "the King" Kirby for nothing
The music mix with jack kirby was awesome. this channel is lit
Great video! Jack Kirby was not only a great artist/writer/creator, but i believe is now an art Genre.
Omg that amount of light in the picture looks so good, much easier to watch)) nothing is distracting
Damn, that first big scene of the Avengers all toghether gives me goosebumps all the time!!! Thank you Jack kirby wherever you are! :) \m/
This was fantastic!!! Great production, super informative and Crazy Cool!!! Great job!!!
Wish I could "like" this 10 times! Well done.
love the intro and the set great work
Great video! I learned new things about Jack Kirby.
Wow! I just found you now. This video was great! Jack is the reason why I write. You are amazing!
This 'Greater Creator' series is rad. Thanks CB19
This class is great both in content and format. Thanks!!
Thank you CGB19!
I'd love to see more things like this from the CB19 channel, I find them so interesting and informative
I was so thrilled to see Taika bring Kirby art alive in Ragnarok, it's definitely one of the reasons I adore that movie.

Big Kirby fan....... thanks CBG19!
This was very well made. Awesome work.
Been waiting a long time for this
I've been subscribed to this channel in one way or another forever and this is just showing up in my suggestions. Nice.
CBG,
I LOVE the way you classed up
the set to tell us about Jack "King"
Kirby.
His childhood sounds a lot like
the South Side of Chicago today.
I love this show!Happy you are posting here and I love Kirby most of all, thanks for this great content
Pleeeeeeease release all of these, I can’t get them from Vimeo any more and I used to watch them all the time, love them so much!!!!
Looks like the rights have reverted back to her, or she wouldn't be able to publish any of them. She'll probably keep putting them out weekly or so.
Not much a creator myself but I got inspired I'm translating the cc for ＮＥＷ ＧＯＤＳ ft. Jack Kirby ( Ｍｅａｎｉｎｇｗａｖｅ ® ) video theirs a message in that video that needs to be shared. Thanks for sharing CB19!
This was the best show on go90. I wish youtube would pick it up for youtube premium. Gonna jump on your patreon and support!
so so so sooooo~ good class!!you look fantastic doing it CB19!!good job!!!!
It's sad. He worked his ass off till the day he died and never got rich and the recognition he deserved like Stan Lee. Long live the King.
eliran he got more than Bill Finger did.
Knight Web at least Steranko gave Kane a good slap in the face.
Long Live The King!
Eternals vol 1 #8 was my first comic as a kid. Kirby had me hooked for life.
LOL This retrospect is similar to what I have written 4 years ago but handled so much better!
Great breakdown on the history of the King. It was Kirby that inspired me to draw and got me into comics and so forth. Hail to the King baby!
Thank you for the video, love Jack Kirby
I very briefly shook Jack's hand at San Diego Comic Con back in 1991. Thanks for keeping his name alive!
Lucky Bastard !

Thundarr was so great! I always wished they had fleshed out the universe they hinted at more!
I would love to see an entire film in the Kirby style. I am baffled as to why this hasn't been done yet.
MAN! I miss classic CBG19! Great looking and positive about the stuff she likes! R.I.P.
25 years ago today, the king left us. Seen his obit five days later in the local paper.
Great episode!

Had not considered that
The lighting in your vids is looking great!!!
Without Jack kirby we wouldn't have these iconic characters Stan Lee's getting to much credit for something he did not create.
This is so well put together, holy shit.
Check out her whole "Greater Creator" series.
Thanks for your work. I'm a huge fan of the king and I appreciate your take on it. I also believe that Star Wars owes a lot to Kirby. May the Source be with you! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your shows on other creators. Thanks again!!!

i can totally watch this again
Constant internet distractions is how your planet blew up, Kal El.
Thank you for talking about the king...I am big fan of his work even though I don't own a lot of comics...
Excellent Job!! and love the set design very cool!!

You are a lucky bastard! ;)
Thanks for keeping the internet so awesome! You da bomb.
I will always love Jack Kirby's work. Him along with Stan Lee created one of my favorite characters of all time, Daredevil. I will forever be thankful for that
Actually, it was Bill Everett (with Stan Lee) who created Daredevil, not Kirby.
@@Cursed_Mark Oh okay yeah my mistake. Jack Kirby was involved, but the main people were Stan Lee and Bill Everett
Oh, sure. Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and Wally Wood (who designed the iconic red costume) were all involved in Daredevil's creation.
@@Cursed_Mark Jack kirby was involved in creating Spiderman too
Very nice, I like the new format!
you should release the end track as an audio file. that was a dope edit. it gave me chills.
End track by Akira The Don: th-cam.com/video/ykva5iPaqjY/w-d-xo.html
Kirby also guest starred on Bob Newhart's early 1990s sitcom, where Newhart played a comics artist.
Awesome video, can't wait for one about Steve Ditko and John Buscema
Made me love Jack even more!

Whoa I like what you've done with the channel. I thought you quit. But I'm glad you stayed! Because you rock!!!
I can't think of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee without thinking of Roger the Stan Lee Experience. "Jack Kirby was my best friend. He died a peniless bastard. And that is what gets me up in the morning"
Excellent doc. Keep it up.
great video
I'm hoping to get Jack Kirby's Fourth World omnibus for Christmas this year
Great break down and analysis .
10:44 Teacher, did you know that...YES, i'm the teacher!..😂😂😂
Wow. He survived the war did what he loved his whole life and died about the same time as the woman he loved. What a lucky guy.
What a great program you made!
Great Content, Great Tribute, Great Girl!
The new set looks great. Like, wow.
Old set. This was made years ago.
I miss this channel...and miss you cbg19
I might be entirely too high for this video right now, but was amazing to watch. As an artist and fan of your work, i appreciate this particular series. I gotta get off my ass and hit the table...
Stan created the characters and wrote their back stories. Jack Kirby drew them and executed the plan. He certainly deserves equal praise.
Jack Kirby was a writer too.
In fact Stan Lee said this...
"Some artists, such as Jack Kirby, need no plot at all. I mean I'll just say to Jack, "Let's let the next villain be Dr.Doom"... or I may not even say that. He may tell me.
