Creative Weirdos - Conversations with fellow weirdos about art, the paranormal, comic books & more!
This is the first in a series of episodes I'm going to be doing on the weirdness and paranormal stories surrounding comics and their creators. To kick off this series of sequential strangeness I asked my good friend Super Inframan back on to talk about his spiritual guide, Jack The King Kirby! We cover a ton of his career, as well as his life and what Jack and his work means to Super Inframan and myself. I hope you enjoy the convo and have the best day!

By 1974, Marvel had raced past DC Comics as the most popular and successful brand of comic book entertainment. Seeking to expand awareness and establish a presence in the burgeoning book market, Marvel pacted with prominent publisher, Simon & Schuster, who went on to produce a blockbuster line of Marvel trade collections under their Fireside label. These first of their kind collections featured accessible entry level stories of Marvel's most popular characters. Fireside books placed Marvel in libraries all over the country, further enhancing Marvel's growing profile. Fireside created the first ever original graphic novel by re-teaming Jack “The King” Kirby and Stan “The Man” Lee in a collaboration that produced an epic original Silver Surfer story! Rob recounts the history of Marvel & Fireside as he experienced it in real time!

In 1970, DC proclaimed, “The Great One Is Coming!” And they were right! Jack “The King” Kirby went across the street from Marvel to the Distinguished Competition and hit their publishing line like an atomic bomb. The New Gods! Mister Miracle! The Forever People! The Demon! Omac! But few of them had the specific impact & influence as today's subject: Kamandi, The Last Boy on Earth! Mike & Greg focus on the earlier issues of The King's 37-issue full-creator run, but as with all things Kirby, there's so much other stuff to consider. Is this the best work of his career? What drove him to DC in the first place, and then back to Marvel? How much microfilm did Kamandi read? Why is Kirby Sheen more signature than Kirby Krackle? When did you first GET Kirby? All that, plus looks at the 70's DC “Bullpen Bulletins”, Kirby inkers compared and rated, and exactly what speed were these comics were intended to be read at? Robots From Tomorrow is a weekly comics podcast recorded deep beneath the Earth's surface. You can subscribe to it via iTunes or through the RSS feed at RobotsFromTomorrow.com.
