About this listen

 Jack Kirby was a scrappy Jewish kid from the Lower East Side who threw fists at bullies before joining the fight against Nazis in Europe as a U.S. soldier. In this episode, hosts Aaron Berg and Andrew Davidsburg tell the story of how this mensch with serious chutzpah went from back-alley brawls to co-creating some of Marvel’s most iconic superheroes including Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Hulk. He didn’t just draw heroes he lived like one turning grit, heart, and talent into a legacy that still inspires today.
