Jimmy Olsen
Jack Kirby's Fourth World
Kirby began by introducing a secret "D.N.A. Project" to create Mutated Humans for Good, also adding "The Hairies" (a group of technology-equipped hippies), superbeings from other planets (proto-New Gods), Intergang, and Morgan Edge... and reintroduced his 1940s Newsboy Legion characters.
About halfway through his run, Kirby introduced vampires, the Loch Ness Monster, and Victor Volcanum, the fire-eating archcriminal. Readership quickly dropped back to its pre-Kirby levels.
Kirby's tenure on the series ended with issue #148; and with issue #164 (April–May 1974) Jimmy's book was folded into the anthology title Superman Family.In that book, Olsen became a more serious character who battled criminals as an investigative reporter known as "Mr. Action" in urban crime stories that rarely involved Superman.

The Demon #7
Etrigan il demone è un personaggio dei fumetti creato da Jack Kirby nel 1972, pubblicato dalla DC.
È un demone dell'Inferno che si trova spesso a lottare a fianco delle forze del bene. Etrigan ha le sembianze di un uomo tozzo e muscoloso con la pelle gialla (o arancione), corna, occhi rossi e orecchie con la forma di ali di pipistrello. Originariamente Kirby aveva disegnato il personaggio in maniera tale che rassomigliasse nel viso a Hal Foster, come omaggio.

Mother box
Lei li proteggerà.
Avrà cura di loro
avvertendoli del pericolo
troverà i loro nemici
e li aiuterà a sconfiggerli
combatterà il male
ovunque si nasconda
i miei figli saranno al sicuro
in qualunque luogo
chi sono io?
sono un uomo qualunque che costruisce scatole madri
perchè un giorno il mondo diventi un posto migliore.
L'ultimo disegno di questa breve storia/idea venne pubblicato molto tempo fa sul JKC #43 nella rubrica Kirby As a Genre curata da Adam McGovern.

TwoMorrows Publishing is a publisher of magazines about comic books, founded in 1994 by John and Pam Morrow out of their small advertising agency in Raleigh, North Carolina.
After the death of comics creator Jack Kirby, lifelong Kirby fan John Morrow and his wife Pam contacted Roz Kirby, the artist's widow, about an ongoing magazine devoted to her husband's work and legacy. She gave it her authorization.
Jack Kirby Collector was first published in limited quantities as a small, black-and-white magazine focusing on Kirby artwork and articles by Morrow and a few fellow collectors and fans. As each issue grew in size, it began to include rare or previously unpublished Kirby art, as well as uninked pencil versions of published art. Soon the magazine was being published on better paper, with glossy color covers. New and veteran comics artists were given the chance to ink reproductions of Kirby's original pencil work. Each issue carried the notation "Fully Authorized by the Kirby Estate". The magazine went on to be nominated for several awards.
