Paul Gravett presents a video tour of the massive Jack Kirby exhibit in Lucerne, Switzerland. If you’re passing by you still have a few days to see it for yourself.

If you happen to be passing through Lucerne, Switzerland in the next week, there’s an exhibit Fumetto International Comics Festival of over 150 pages of original Jack Kirby artwork.  If your daily commute doesn’t take you that way, here are some photos, and here are some more including some of the biographical text from the exhibit and transcriptions of some of Kirby’s letters from WWII.

Via Mark Evanier, an article about some of Kirby’s 1980s animation designs for Ruby-Spears being developed by Sid and Marty Krofft.  Includes a slide-show of some of the designs (although a few of them look less Kirby than others).  Some of the designs were of course seen in a trading card set in the 1990s, and others have appeared in THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR over the years.  Evanier also mentions that there’s an art book with some of the designs in the works.

Also, Amazon has a cover up now for THE SIMON AND KIRBY SUPERHEROES.  They still have an October release date, but I’m guessing that’ll be moved up soon.

The magazine ROYAL FLUSH #6 has an article on Jack Kirby and Frank Zappa written by Jeff Neweit. Rick Veitch provides the Kirby-inspired illustration. The article isn’t on-line, unfortunately.

Oops, didn’t look closely enough, I guess, here’s the full article.
