I was only hoping that it would come out well enough to continue comics, that it wouldn’t damage comics in anyway, so I could continue working.

I didn’t feel one way or another about it. However, Kirby did not shy away from the idea during an interview originally published in The Comics Journal in 1990 when asked by interviewer Gary Groth if he felt the the 1954 Senate Subcommittee Hearings into Juvenile Delinquency were a "witch-hunt," Kirby said:

We asked Hoppe whether Kirby would support punching Nazis on the streets. He endured and survived many harrowing violent experiences during his service, almost losing his feet to trench foot. Unlike other comic book creators who were given either stateside or way-behind-lines assignments, and perhaps because Kirby understood Yiddish, the Jewish German dialect spoken by his family, he was sent as a scout behind enemy lines to draw maps. Randolph Hoppe, the treasurer and acting director for the Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center, described the writer and artist in an email to as a "New Deal Liberal Democrat" and avid boxer who trained in judo in preparation to see active duty in World War II: My heart rate would rise and I would hyperventilate.On 20 January 2017, the life and post-war experiences of comics icon Jack Kirby received renewed public attention following a physical attack against white nationalist Richard Spencer.įans of Kirby (born Jacob Kurtzberg) pointed to his service in World War II and post-war anecdotes to argue that it was justified for Spencer to be punched in the face while giving an interview on 20 January 2017, an incident that quickly quickly spread online. “It was great because I got away from the photographers and I was able to be myself, and to have so many experiences that people didn’t photograph, but at the same time it made me severely anxious when I was photographed. “I basically became a recluse,” the actress said. It resulted in her becoming “super self-conscious” she said. And to this day, when I see that meme, it’s something very hard for me to overcome.” “It was something so benign as walking into a hotel with leftovers. “And I just remember sitting there and thinking, my body is being used as a joke and it’s something that I can’t change about who I am, and it is being posted all over Instagram,” she said. Moretz said that expressing how upset she was about her body being made fun of was met with “Oh, shut the f*** up, it’s funny.” And this photo got manipulated into a character from ‘Family Guy’ with the long legs and the short torso, and it was one of the most widespread memes at the time.” “I’ve actually never really talked about this, but there was one meme that really affected me, of me walking into a hotel with a pizza box in my hand. And then came the onslaught of horrific memes that started getting sent to me about my body,” she told the publication. “Then those two worlds collided and I felt really raw and vulnerable and open. “For a long time I was able to be the Chloë that people see and the Chloë that I am in private,” the “Kick-Ass” star said in an interview with Hunger. Chloë Grace Moretz is opening up about how fame and social media caused her to “basically” become a “recluse.”
