Page "Jack Kirby" Paragraph 3

There Kirby created his Fourth World saga, which spanned several comics titles.

While these series proved commercially unsuccessful and were canceled, several of their characters and the Fourth World mythos have continued as a significant part of the DC Universe.

Kirby returned to Marvel briefly in the mid-to-late 1970s, then ventured into television animation and independent comics.

In his later years, Kirby, who has been called " the William Blake of comics ", began receiving great recognition in the mainstream press for his career accomplishments, and in 1987, he, along with Carl Barks and Will Eisner, was one of the three inaugural inductees of the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame.

The Jack Kirby Awards and Jack Kirby Hall of Fame were named in his honor.
