Continuing the celebration of the Kirby Centennial, this is the annual panel about Comic-Con's first superstar guest, the man they call "The King of Comics," Jack Kirby. Jack left us in 1994, but his influence on comics, film, and this convention has never been greater. Discussing the man and his work this year are Jim Chadwick (editor at DC Comics), Paul Levitz (former president at DC Comics), Mike Royer (Kirby's favorite inker), attorney Paul S. Levine, and several highly surprising surprise guests. Naturally, it's moderated by former Kirby assistant Mark Evanier.
Lots of folks were on this panel: In the order they were added to the panel:
(initial panel) Mark Evanier, Mike Royer, Paul Levitz (who left before we could do the group shot at the end), Jim Chadwick, and Paul Levine.
(additional people who joined the panel, in sequence) Dan DiDio, Jon Bogdanove, Athena Finger, Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson, Louise Simonson, Marv Wolfman, Walt Simonson, and Mike Thiboudeaux.
Other folks were brought up to the mike from the audience who didn't actually join the panel.
Folks in the audience included: Jillian Kirby, Lisa Kirby, Jack Habegger, Steve Leialoha, Tracy Kirby, and Jeremy Kirby.
