Yesterday marked the 13th Anniversary since Jack Kirby died. No doubt, considered to be the heart and soul of comics, he most certainly was the King. As it happens, my Mom died on the very same day, also 13 years ago. She was an amazing woman -- her influence shaped my world, and her belief in me helped me become the man i am today.

So here's to Jack and Donna. I love you guys.

(Sadly, i have no photos of Donna digitized. Sorry, Mom. But here's a sweet Kirby piece.)
