Here’s what people have been saying,
 

 

““I like his pencil art the most, his original work before others adding to his stuff. You see how detailed he was, see the emotions and movements,” he said without leaving his gaze from the sketches. His cousin shared his views on Kirby from a historical perspective, among other things explaining how Kirby created the first African American hero, The Black Panther, during the peak of the civil rights movement, and what impact that had during such a delicate time. “

“What made Kirby so unique was not only his eccentric and rough style that have come to be known internationally as seen in this show, but also his contribution to the world of arts and entertainment. Hatfield gives Kirby credit for keeping so many people busy, “His work is generative.  He made up so much that many people could build their career around his work,” said Hatfield. The main thing about Kirby is that he managed to be mainstream. He designed most of the characters that are in movies now; Avengers, Thor, X-men.

He was the first person to draw them. He helped to invent them. He was not just the illustrator, he created the look that went into Marvel movies.””
