King Kirby

King Kirby tells the inspiring, hilarious, and heartbreaking true story of legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby, the visionary co-creator behind many of the most iconic superheroes ever created, including Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Thor, the Hulk, and the Avengers.

Written by Crystal Skillman and Fred Van Lente, this fast-paced theatrical journey follows Kirby from his humble beginnings on New York's Lower East Side through World War II and the explosive rise of the comic book industry. Along the way, audiences witness his creative triumphs, personal struggles, and complicated relationship with collaborator Stan Lee as he fights for recognition, ownership, and his artistic legacy.

Part biography, part comic book adventure, and part love letter to the power of imagination, King Kirby explores the life of the man whose ideas helped shape modern pop culture while asking a timeless question: What happens when an artist doesn't own the stories he created?
