Jack King is a pseudonym for a former top-secret government courier, who was privy to all the ins and outs of covert maneuvering on a global scale. Now he has turned that experience into his debut novel, The Fifth Internationale.
A wonderful way to start the week of Jack Kirby's 90th birthday was the publication of Brent Staples' "Jack Kirby, a Comic Book Genius, Is Finally Remembered" in the Op-Ed section on 26 August.
Glenn Fleming, a guest to the Kirby home in 1991, recorded Jack describing one particular story that he used in "Mile-A-Minute Jones", published in Our Fighting Forces #159 by DC Comics in 1975.
A brief video clip of Jack interspersed with panels from the comic book was prepared by David Schwartz and is presented here.
