We’re excited to finally announce the plans for our Jack Kirby Centennial Event! While Jack’s actual 100th Birthday was on August 28th, we’ve decided to hold our event on Saturday September 16th from 10am to 7pm. UPDATES!

August 28th will be Jack Kirby’s 100th birthday, and we can’t think of a more important event in comic book history. Without Jack, none of this would have happened. There’s even a...
