Jack Kirby, often called ""The King of Comics,"" was one of the most influential creators in the history of the medium. After co-creating much of the Marvel Universe, Kirby brought his boundless imagination to DC Comics in the 1970s, where he launched the Fourth World saga-a sprawling, interconnected mythos of gods, monsters, and revolution. With characters like Darkseid, Orion, Mister Miracle, and Big Barda, Kirby redefined superhero storytelling with bold visuals, cosmic stakes, and philosophical depth.
