Comic Book Legend, Jack Kirby’s art will be featured in the largest exhibit of its kind in the nation, and the first of its kind at any university. The exhibit opens Monday at CSUN Art Galleries.
“Famed comics artist Jack Kirby, whose work launched The Avengers, X-Men, Captain America, and the Marvel Universe, is the focus of an exhibition at the California State University, Northridge Art Galleries. While focusing on Kirby’s later work, from about 1965 on, the exhibition will document his entire career, which lasted more than half a century and involved almost every major publisher in comic books. Comic Book Apocalypse is curated by Professor Charles Hatfield, founder of CSUN’s popular “Comics and Graphic Novels” course and the author Hand of Fire: The Comics Art of Jack Kirby.”
The exhibit opens Monday, August 24 and ends October 10, 2015 at California State University Northridge Art Galleries (

“We call the show ‘Comic Book Apocalypse’ because when you’re dealing with Kirby, nothing less than the end of everything is at stake,” English professor Charles Hatfield, curator of the exhibit, said in a statement. He is “a neglected giant of American comics and popular culture.”
