Jack Kirby’s son shares pointed statement on Disney Plus’ Stan Lee documentary
, a documentary about the visionary creator of a big chunk of the Marvel Comics canon that uses a wealth of archival footage, clips from Lee’s cameos in superhero movies, and voiceover from Lee himself—recorded at some point before his death in 2018, since the man was nothing if not a proud self-promoter. Something the documentary does not spend much time on, though, is Jack Kirby—the… visionary creator of a big chunk of the Marvel Comics canon.
Most comic book fans are aware that there has been a decades-long dispute over who gets credit for the creation of pretty much anything in comic books, and by virtue of making himself the literal face of Marvel from the ‘60s right up until his death, Lee had the benefit of being able to say “co-created all of these things with my fantastical ideas” while nobody else—like Kirby or Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko—really had an opportunity to chime in.
