Jack Kirby

“My characters were my children. I loved them all.”

“Comics are a narrative art form, and the artist is in charge of the narrative.”

“I couldn't draw a tree. I can't draw a car. But I can draw a man's soul.”

“My life is my work. I have no other life.”

“I’ve been drawing all my life, and I’m still learning.”

“I love to draw. It's the only thing I've ever wanted to do.”

“I'm a storyteller. That's the chief function of a movie-maker, and I tell stories in the best way I can.”

“Every line I draw has a purpose.”

“The artist is a man who is forever torn between his desire to communicate and his desire to hide.”

“I wanted to do things that were bigger than life.”

“You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.”

“Kirby's dots, that's what they call them. I just call them energy.”

“I don't analyze what I'm doing. I've been in the business so long, I just do it.”

“The Hulk is the rage of the beast in all of us.”

“I was the guy who created the characters. Stan Lee was the guy who wrote the captions.”
