JACK KIRBY CENTENNIAL lecture by Arlen Schumer

Illustrator and comic book historian Arlen Schumer (The Silver Age of Comic Book Art) marks the centennial of Kirby’s birth with a multimedia retrospective about how a first American-generation son of European Jewish immigrants, growing up in the Lower East Side of New York City named Ya’akov Kurtzberg, became acknowledged by both professionals and fans alike as the single greatest artist and storyteller in the history of comic books, Jack “King” Kirby.
