The Four Color Media Monitor

Brent Staples at the New York Times' Board blog writes about Jack Kirby, noting that he's never really gotten much credit for the heroes he helped introduce when they were adapted to the silver screen, including Iron Man. Staples gets it slightly inaccurate though about Kirby being the co-creator of Tony Stark - it was actually Don Heck who drew the premiere issue of Tales of Suspense #39, where Iron Man debuted in 1963, although Kirby is credited as the cover artist for the issue, and did draw some of the stories (and plenty of the covers) that followed afterwards.
