Finding Jack Kirby in a Pile of Zinc is part of the “Getsinger Find.” The author, Joseph M. Getsinger, came upon a large cache of over 8,000 cartoon printing plates from the teens, twenties, and thirties. This was during a poker game with his art publisher and other friends in that field.  During research of these plates, it was discovered that many of the cartoonists listed were pen names of presently famous cartoonists, such as Jack Kirby, Will Eisner, Bob Kane, and Jerry Iger. Initial research found that Willis B. Rensie was actually Will Eisner who created “Harry Karry” and “Uncle Otto” featured in the first book, “The Lost Work of Will Eisner.”  The research went on to unveil creations by Jack Kirby of Captain America fame under the pen names of Jackson, Ted, Teddy, Harmon, H.T. Omle, and Brady.  Each cartoon plate was hand printed by the author and the best one scanned for this publication. This book is about the discovery and connecting the dots to many cartoons created by Kirby that haven’t come to light until now.  Part of that collection also identified other cartoonists beginnings. In this book you will discover the missing years of Kirby cartooning and how he progressed from his cartoon beginnings as a teenager to his breakout into the Marvel and DC world with his unique style of cartooning with Captain America, X-Men, Incredible Hulk, Fantastic Four, and many more.  An exciting find and discovery for you to enjoy.
