Since I’m giving a talk on the #FantasticFour soon, I thought I’d better go see the film. As a #JackKirby fanatic and lifelong fan of the FF, I was resistant. I expected to be dissatisfied. Disappointed. Probably annoyed.

I was wrong. It’s brilliant.

Don’t ask. Just go see it.

This is, as it happens, a lot like the storytelling advice Jack Kirby once gave me. He said that as long as your characters react like real people with real feelings, then no matter how far out you get, the audience will follow you.

Publishers, please take note that at least one person just bought three books SOLELY based on the viscerally appealing covers designed by a human being.

Absolutely. Romance comics were massively popular, sold millions, but once the silver age kicked in, comics became increasingly stuck on superheroes. And still are.
