New York Honors Jack Kirby With Renaming Street Corner After The Late Artist

[Outsiders]

In honor of the influential artist and creator Jack Kirby, the intersection of Delancey and Essex in New York City has been officially renamed Yancy Street/Jack Kirby Way.

In partnership with the City of New York, Marvel has installed a commemorative sign that pays tribute to the inspiration that Delancey and its neighboring area provided to Jack Kirby, who was born Jacob Kurtzberg on August 28, 1917.

Jack Kirby, a celebrated artist and prolific storyteller, is recognized for creating some of the most iconic characters in the world, including Captain America, Iron Man, Ant-Man, the Hulk, and The Fantastic Four.

Jack gets some quiet deserved due, but not like Stan Lee gets.  But I'm not going to diss Stan at all, I would like to see Jack get even more accolades and acknowledgement.
 

And I wonder why Hasbro hasn't made a figure of Jack Kirby, yet...because, arguably there's more of his creations in the line than any other creator.

I have to stop by this area and see these new signs for myself!
