When Glenn Fleming and a friend visited the Kirby house in Thousand Oaks, California in October of 1991, they recorded some of their visit on video tape. After moving the discussion into his studio, Jack began describing a story he told called "Mile-A-Minute Jones", published in Our Fighting Forces #159 by DC Comics.
Glenn generously donated the VHS tape to the Museum for its use and Kirby family friend and collector David Schwartz kindly edited the piece available here.
If you have or know of anyone who has audio, film or video of Jack Kirby that they would be willing to donate to the Museum - for reproduction here, scholarly study or even inclusion in our documentary - please let us know!
