Kirby at Comic Con
Multiple panels feature Jack Kirby at this year's Comic Con International in San Diego
Heading to Comic Con in San Diego this year? There are many panels featuring Kirby creations but two panels feature members of the Kirby family.
The Universal Cinematic Influence of Jack Kirby (Tracy Kirby in attendance)
Thursday, July 21, 2022
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Room 4
From Star Wars to the MCU, Jack Kirby is everywhere. His inspiration is seen in blockbuster movies, television, and comics here in the States and globally. Tracy Kirby (Kirby's granddaughter), Rand Hoppe (Jack Kirby Museum) and Mike Cecchini ( Den of Geek! and Kirby Museum) are joined by screenwriter Ashley Miller ( Thor, X-Men: First Class) to celebrate Kirby's influence in Hollywood and beyond throughout the decades. They’ll share a prerecorded message about Jack Kirby from Star Wars legend Mark Hamill and other surprises.
Annual Jack Kirby Tribute Panel (Jeremy Kirby in attendance)
Sunday, July 24, 2022
10:00 AM - 11:15 AM
Room 5AB
It wouldn’t be a Comic-Con without a panel tributing the man they still call “The King of the Comics,” the man who created or co-created most of the Marvel superheroes and plenty of other comic book superstars elsewhere. Sit and talk about Jack Kirby with comic book superstar Frank Miller, comic book editor Steve Saffel, Rand Hoppe (acting executive director of the Jack Kirby Museum & Research Center), and Jack’s grandson, Jeremy Kirby. And presiding over it all will be Jack’s biographer and one-time assistant, Mark Evanier.
I know it has been a while, but our next Jack Kirby Care Package will be coming out in late Summer so stay tuned!
If you are looking for some great summer apparel, look no further than these great Jack Kirby T-shirts!
Thank you all for your continued support of the Kirby family. The next year looks to have some exciting announcements and I look forward to bringing you more Kirby news when it happens.
