As you probably know, Jack Kirby was honored a few years ago by being named to the ranks of individuals the Disney organization designates as "Disney Legends." How does one qualify for this? I think you just have to have a solid contribution to something that made the corporation a lot of money. Which is fine. It's their award and they can give it out to whoever they like for whatever reason they like. I am, however, not waiting for them to say, "Hey, we oughta give this to the guy who wrote the Super Goof comic book in the early seventies."
And recently at D23 — the all-Disney Mega-Con — it will be announced that a special plaque honoring Jack will soon be added to the opening of the Avengers attraction at their theme parks. Also fine with me. Like I said here the other day, more and more people seem to be aware of what he did, which makes me happy. You can read more about the plaque here. Thanks to the many folks who let me know about it.
