Lost Jack Kirby art surfaces in Kirby vs. Marvel lawsuit

The estate of comics great Jack Kirby is suing Marvel Comics over rights of the many character he co-created while freelancing for the company and, as a byproduct, we're getting a look at some story pages that Kirby created but Marvel chose not to buy.

The online Jack Kirby Museum has posted a number of these, including several lost pages of a Hulk tale that were literally saved from the dustbin by Marvel scripter (and Marvel publisher Stan Lee's brother) Larry Lieber.

In his testimony, Larry says:

"... Jack Kirby came out of Stan's office from -- and from the direction of Stan's office. He may, probably, he had come out of Stan's office, and he seemed upset. And he took the drawings, he had these drawings, he took them and he tore them in half and he threw them in a trash can, a large trash can.

"And I, since I was such a big fan of his, I knew that at the end of the day, they would be discarded, you know, and would be trash. And I -- I saw it as an opportunity to have some of his originals to keep, to look at and study, and so I took them out of the trash can.

"And there were other people in the office, but nobody else seemed to have noticed this, which I was glad about, and I just took them, walked over to where I was sitting and put them in my case. And I took them home and I taped them together, you know, I taped them all, and I kept them and I've kept them all these years to look at them and, as I say, to study them."

Live-action Hulk TV series in the works

Marvel Comics and ABC are in the early stages of planning such a thing, according to reports. The Hulk also will figure in the upcoming Avengers movie, so we may be seeing his big, green face everywhere.

I can see the Hulk working well on TV. After all, he's already had one long-running live-action series. The small, not the big, screen may be a better venue for him. Following Bruce (or David, I suppose) Banner's struggle to contain his destructive alter-ego week after week can make for good serial drama.
