Yes, it is true, surprisingly enough. "Halloween 2" director Rob Zombie is a fan of the man that helped start it all: Jack Kirby!

"I would go back and read anything that Jack Kirby drew," Zombie told MTV News. "As a kid, I took Jack Kirby for granted, because he did so many comics and pumped out so much work."

As would I Rob, as would I.

Thanks to MTV for providing the video.

I reckon though, ROB could make some really good comic book movies if he's let, as a comic fan he'd do stuff like LOBO, TWISTER, SWAMP THING, MAXX etc justice!

big deal. Kirby is the man. Every comic book reader knows that. When i first started collecting (1983) I used to buy any book in the 50 cent bins that had his art in it regardless of whether or not I found it interesting. That was how I was lucky enough to become acquainted with long lost gems like The Eternals.

Not really new news here, any real fan of Rob Zombie knows he's a fan of comics and the awesome artist involved with them. Glenn Danzig who publishes his own line of mature horror comics is a fan as well. Jack Kirby is to comics what Black Sabbath is to heavy metal, all hail!

Who gives a flying f**k about what Rob Zombie has to say or think! He is a horrible director (to say the least),who gets his script ideas and direction from graphic pornography while listening to his own crappy music. He already butchered my favorite serial killer (ironic, isn't it?)in his piece o' shite Halloween "Reimagining". If that idiot even goes near a comicbookmovie I'm getting a hunting rifle and pulling a Dick Cheney on him. Just hearing his name gets me mad.

MAMMA MIA!

Ditto Rorschach, I can't stand Rob Zombie. His movies are terrible and his shitty music doesn't help either.

The whole point of the character of Michael Myers was that there was no reason why he began to kill..he was just supposed to be evil. It made the character great, it made the original movie great, Zombie decided to hammer it home and give him a [frick]ed up childhood because hes a c#nt.
