  • Jack Kirby - Lower East Side Tough, Comic Book Legend and Nazi Slayer

    Long before Jack Kirby was credited with creating the most beloved comic book characters of all time, he was brawling on the streets of the Lower East Side.  Doing all he could to escape the ghetto, Kirby found his gift as an artist drawing on the tenement walls where he lived.  After a brief stint drawing Popeye, along with Joe Simon, Kirby created the legendary Captain America, an instant hit.  The nazis in the comic book would be replaced by real stormtroopers as Kirby shipped off to Germany to take the fight the fascists.  To learn about his battles, and the creation of your favorite heros, check out Badass Jews episode 3!
