Ghost Light Theatricals is proud to present the West Coast Premier of King Kirby. This heartbreaking and hilarious story of the “King of Comics” is a must see for fans of American history and comic books alike, written by the husband-and-wife team of New York Times bestselling comics writer Fred Van Lente and NYIT award-winning playwright Crystal Skillman

Spanning from 1929 to 1994, the play tells the story and struggles of Jack Kirby, one of the most iconic comic book creators of all time. Including his rough childhood in the ghetto of the Lower East Side, to the battlefields of France in WW2, to the Senate floor where he stood accused of inciting juvenile delinquency. And don’t miss the saga of Kirby’s relationship with none other than Stan Lee... One man becomes rich and famous, the other broke and marginalized.
