在曼哈顿下东区的德兰西街和埃塞克斯街的拐角处，一个新的标志将写着：“Jack Kirby Way”。 This is where the comic book legend was born Jacob Kurtzberg in 1917. As a child, he lived in a tenement building, growing up in a neighborhood that was once among the most densely populated on Earth.
He went on to become Jack Kirby, artist and co-creator alongside the likes of Joe Simon, Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Don Heck, who helped give the world Marvel heroes such as Captain America, Black Panther, X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Thor and Iron Man.他还设计了许多超级英雄之外的角色和概念。
“He had a once-in-a-generation talent and ability to capture anything in his mind, from abstract cosmic deities and explosive super heroic battles to more relatable, yet powerful, character moments, and breathe life into them on every page,” says Dan Buckley, head of Marvel Comics and Franchise, in an email. “他的设计和如何讲述故事的愿景是我们遗产的基础部分。”
The street was temporarily redubbed “Jack Kirby Way”last summer in a promotional event tied to the blockbuster film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and then the change was made permanent by the New York City Council in December.正式揭幕仪式将于 5 月 11 日星期一举行。
The campaign to co-name the street after Kirby was spearheaded by Roy Schwartz, pop culture historian and board member of the Jack & Roz Kirby Awards.
