Author, researcher, and lifelong comic book fan CHRIS TOLWORTHY joins us from Scotland to discuss his book The Lost Jack Kirby Stories. It's a fascinating and painstakingly researched piece that explores Kirby's intentions as a storyteller during the early years of the Marvel Comics Universe, and we touch on certain instances from the book and the comics that prove that Jack Kirby was more than "just the artist". It's a great conversation that we know you won't want to miss!
