Jack Kirby, creator of some of the most famous cartoon characters in the world, would have been 96 years old today. Tom Spurgeon at The Comics Reporter suggests we all donate $9.60 to the Kirby-endorsed Hero Initiative charity, which supports cartoonists in need, in his memory – something which I'm proud to say I've done (I rounded it up to an even $10, but any amount is worth giving, no matter how big or how small).
Happy Birthday, Sir.
