KIRBY AT WAR (Released in France 2017)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

Kirby at War—short French documentary film—informs in a shallow way about comic animator Jack Kirby. The movie tells its story in less than an hour and focuses more on Kirby's World War II experiences and how they influenced his artistic efforts than a deep detailing of his personal life/childhood. It suitably educates and informs on a high-level animator's creations (Black Panther, the Avengers, Hulk, Fantastic Four, The X-Men, Thor, Iron Man) and some on collaborative work with Stan Lee, Marvel Comic developer.
