Kirby on Kampus

Beginning in August, Cal State University in Northridge will host "Comic Book Apocalypse: The Graphic World of Jack Kirby." This is an art show of Jack's work curated by Professor Charles Hatfield, founder of CSUN's popular "Comics and Graphic Novels" course and the author of Hand of Fire: The Comics Art of Jack Kirby, a very good book on its subject. The exhibition opens Saturday, August 29 — one day after what would have been Jack's 98th birthday — and continues until October 10. I'll be posting further info on it as we get closer to the date, and I'll be there for the opening and speaking about Jack at a later event.
