Frasi di Jack Kirby

Jack Kirby , nato Jacob Kurtzberg è stato un fumettista statunitense.

Detto "The King of comics", è stato uno dei più grandi, celebri e influenti autori di fumetti della storia, prolifico e dallo stile inconfondibile, perfezionando uno stile sempre più riconoscibile spaziando nei vari generi, dal western al romantico, dal poliziesco all'horror, divenendo il modello per generazioni di autori in tutto il mondo, creando un nuovo modo di disegnare fumetti nel quale il dinamismo dei personaggi, le prospettive estremizzate, il design di oggetti tecnologici, la ricerca sperimentale che lo porta a usare la tecnica del collage per la rappresentazione di mondi immaginari e il suo stile nel rappresentare le scene d'azione e le ambientazioni con macchie nere su colori accesi sono tutti elementi che il fumetto dei supereroi ha prima fatto propri e rielaborato negli anni a seguire.Ha ideato da solo o con altri autori personaggi come Capitan America e decine di altri come i Fantastici Quattro, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man e gli X-Men i quali, ideati nei primi anni sessanta in sodalizio con Stan Lee, resero famosa la Marvel Comics. Negli anni settanta per la DC Comics creò un nuovo universo narrativo nella saga del Quarto Mondo e il post apocalittico Kamandi. Il critico statunitense Adam McGovern afferma che «Kirby ha sempre precorso i tempi e alcune sue idee non sono diventate comuni nei fumetti se non dopo la sua morte. [...] È stato probabilmente il primo fumettista a comporre la pagina come un mosaico drammatico di sequenze e non come una gabbia di vignette statiche. E, ovviamente, quasi tutti i film Marvel ora così famosi sono basati su sue co-creazioni.». Fu uno dei primi grandi autori del fumetto americano a lasciare una major per pubblicare con un editore indipendente. Wikipedia

About

“Superheroes may be superhuman in stature but inside they’re human beings and they act and react as human beings. It doesn’t matter whether you’re doing legendary characters like Hercules or modern characters, you’ll find that humans are humans and they’ll react the same way in certain situations.”

“To make the [reader] happy was not my objective, but to make the [reader] say, Yeah, that’s what would happen.”

that was my objective. I knew the [reader] was never happy all the time. You take the Thing, he’d knock out 50 guys at a time and win — then maybe he’d sit down and kind of reflect on it: “Maybe I hurt somebody or maybe we could have done it some other way” like a human being would think, not like a monster. In other books the guy would knock out the gangs and that would be the end of it. You would see the guys in jail, and that’s it. Or it would say, “Wait until next week.”

“I enjoyed working on any story. I’m essentially a storyteller. You name the subject, and I’ll give a good story on it.”

“No, we didn’t do horror in the sense of haunted houses or people with masks the way you might see them today; something lurking in an anteroom. Our stories were more like peasants sitting around a fire. We had the “Strange World of Your Dreams.””

Ours didn’t run to bloody horror. Ours ran to weirdness. We began to interpret dreams. Remember, Joe and I were wholesome characters. We weren’t guys that were bent on the weird and the bizarre. We were the kind of guys who wouldn’t offend our mother, who wouldn’t offend anyone in your family, and certainly not the reader. So we knew that we had to depart from adventure and that there were other ways to go and we came up with the “Strange World of Your Dreams”.

“I wasn't the kind of student that Pratt was looking for. They wanted people who would work on something forever. I didn't want to work on any project forever. I intended to get things done.”
