Jack Kirby (Jacob Kurtzberg, USA, 1917-1994)

Comics Will Break Your Heart

Buy this sketch (SOLD)

This sketch tells the story behind the quote that opens Hicksville. It was told to me by James Romberger, an artist and cartoonist whose amazing graphic novelSeven Miles a Second (written by activist and artist David Wojnarowicz) has just been reissued by Fantagraphics.

In the 1980s, Romberger met Kirby at a convention in New York. Kirby kindly looked at Romberger’s work and then gave him a piece of advice: “Kid, you’re one of the best. But put your work in galleries. Don’t do comics. Comics will break your heart.”

Romberger followed Kirby’s advice for years, mostly exhibiting in galleries, while drawing comics for alternative and literary magazines – and occasionally for commercial publishers – on the side. When the first edition of Seven Miles a Secondwas published by Vertigo in 1996, Romberger mentioned in his artist’s bio that he’d once been told by Jack Kirby “comics will break your heart.” As soon as I read that, I knew I would have to use it in Hicksville. I’m grateful to Romberger for later sharing the full story with me and I urge you all to buy his & Wojnarowicz’sextraordinary book.

two little illustrations for the portfolio. the deal is, if i was paid, this would be a ‘shojo sports comic’ about skip rope\double dutch..

but my lips are sealed about this story until i could get it published ;))))

[30knight]

it's so crazy that this actually got made and published into a book...!! A for real middle grade graphic novel book from a for real publisher!

This is proof of how long it takes for an idea to come to completion <3

[30knight]

hi! do you have accounts on other social sites? i really like your work & i wanted to follow you everywhere–not in a creepy way but only to see your work regularly on my social media. have a nice day!

Hi! YES I'm so sorry I'm not on tumblr ever aargh! I'm currently frequenting on bluesky as 30knight and Instagram as knightlythirty - on Instagram I only ever update the webcomic.. thanks so much for liking my dumb stuff ;___;

[30knight]

hi!! i've been following you for a very long time. i pop in on tumblr every now and them, and i always come and check your account when i do. i've related to so much of your comics throughout the years, and it's such a huge comfort to me to feel understood. thank you! 🌟

oh wow thank you ;w; I'm so sorry that I'm not really on tumblr anymore but it's really nice to check in and see that people still get so much from my psychology comics, though I kinda retired from doing that in the end.. wah, thanks so much to anyone who ever supported my work this way <3

Hi! I don't really frequent Tumblr anymore- I'm on bluesky these days!!

But while I'm here, thought I'd post art from my latest obsession, vegeta and bulma. It has been a big week for Vegebul community. 💜😂

In all seriousness this is really kinda sentimental comic; I just feel that bulma really was the initial trigger for vegeta becoming less traumatized and learning about safety. Heheee

Drew a smutty ass smutty AF thing of my OC and I have never done this before but I enjoyed it! But man the smut

I would describe but it's obvious (I hope) what's going on here lol

I love a good bear type guy honestly 😍

friends

[30knight]

I never related to anything so heavily

[30knight]

A ways down the road for readers but these guys will finally be up to their sassy dynamic - feels like it's been a while since I drew em in the same room!

The fun thing about this comic that I never really talked about is that the story is told entirely from Princess ' POV (that's obvious) but there's so much that goes on when she's not around/she isn't perceiving due to her own anxiety - there will be a chapter way way down the line that retells the story from Ash's POV.

I wonder if anyone will ever pick up in that, cuz his behaviour in this chapter is gonna shift slightly, so something clearly happened between now and the last time they met (it went badly)

This is like my personal diary lol
