Jack Kirby's Birthplace in New York City...
« on: October 09, 2012, 08:51:31 AM »
Every now and then I go over to Google news and type in Jack Kirby and see what kind of news there is today concerning him.
I stumbled across this nice little photo tribute to the man the other day.
Los Bros Hernandez standing in front of 147 Essex Street, NYC, NY. The building he was born in.

Paste that address into Google maps, then click on street view to get a idea of what the neighborhood looks like today.
I did just that and took a whole bunch of screen shots and put them all together and came up with this image.
The dark red/brown building in the middle was his home.
