As much as we remember The King for his grand larger-than-life heroes and epics, he made more money on romance comics - they bought him his house. And, if Kirby is King to action comics fans, what was he to the readers of romance comics?
A studly catch and a ticket to ride!
Patsy Walker, late of Netflix's Marvel's Jessica Jones (hair currently blonde, but back then it was red), is dreaming of being drawn by our favorite artist:
Hedy is her 'friend' and co-star in this comic. Patsy had more than one book back in those days of variety. After leaving the shop, they hear their would-be boyfriends talking...

You're not listening, girls! He wants "typical American girls", not glamor dolls. But both rush home to primp and prep, and are soon dolled up and headed to the rail station...

Jack Kirby, King of Nice Guys, too.
Everybody Loves The King!
Kirby guest appearance by Stan Lee & Al Hartley in Patsy and Hedy #88 (1963)
