Jacob Kurtzberg, conocido artísticamente como Jack Kirby fue un dibujante estadounidense. Se lo considera uno de los autores más influyentes de la historia del comic book estadounidense, y el dibujante de superhéroes por antonomasia. Junto a Stan Lee, creó durante los años sesenta gran parte de los personajes más importantes de Marvel Comics, tales como Los 4 Fantásticos, Thor, Los Vengadores o X-Men, propulsando el renacimiento del género durante la denominada Edad de Plata de los comic-books.[1] Wikipedia

that was my objective. I knew the [reader] was never happy all the time. You take the Thing, he’d knock out 50 guys at a time and win — then maybe he’d sit down and kind of reflect on it: “Maybe I hurt somebody or maybe we could have done it some other way” like a human being would think, not like a monster. In other books the guy would knock out the gangs and that would be the end of it. You would see the guys in jail, and that’s it. Or it would say, “Wait until next week.”

Ours didn’t run to bloody horror. Ours ran to weirdness. We began to interpret dreams. Remember, Joe and I were wholesome characters. We weren’t guys that were bent on the weird and the bizarre. We were the kind of guys who wouldn’t offend our mother, who wouldn’t offend anyone in your family, and certainly not the reader. So we knew that we had to depart from adventure and that there were other ways to go and we came up with the “Strange World of Your Dreams”.
