Just a year before he died, Jack Kirby appeared on Prisoners Of Gravity, a TV news magazine broadcast in Canada. The show was a tribute to Jack hosted by Commander Rick who also interviews Will Eisner, Walt Simonson, Scott McCloud, Max Allan Collins, Kevin Eastman, Len Wein, Dave Gibbons, Charles De Lint, and Samuel R. Delany. Eisner tells the story that was shown from his The Dreamer yesterday, adding much humor to the telling. There were a lot of good bits to the show, but we're going to look at what pointed me to Prisoners Of Gravity - a partial transcript of the Jack Kirby interview segments from John Morrow, one of TwoMorrows - the home of Jack Kirby collecting. The transcription ran in Jack Kirby Collector #14.
The King speaks at the concept level on comics & superheroics:
The whole show is worth watching, not just for the things that Jack has to say...
...but also for the insights offered about The King.
I'm not going to embed the videos here, but you can watch the complete program on YouTube:
