"In 1969 Jack Kirby made the move from New York City to Southern California. Not long after settling in Kirby met young comic fans Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman who were working for official Marvel Comics licensee Marvelmania. When Jack decided to move from Marvel to DC he asked Mark and Steve if they would like to be his assistants. Of course they said "Yes!" Also in Southern California at the time was inker Mike Royer who became Kirby's personal choice to ink his New Gods comics for DC, as well as the work he did when he returned to Marvel. Join Mark, Steve and Mike as they reminisce about Jack Kirby:the man, as they knew him"
