August 11, 2007 — In honor of the late great Jack Kirby’s 90th birthday, ComicList.com is going to give away a package of prizes to one fortunate winner.

“Jack Kirby is the foundation of the comic book industry as we know it today,” stated Charles LePage, founder and operator of ComicList. “These prizes will do more than just allow someone to think about the pleasure Jack brought us all while he was alive; they will educate someone about Jack’s earliest works in the field. I’m glad I have the opportunity to note this important date.”
Information on how to enter the contest, as well as the official rules, can be found on the ComicList web site.
