I get a lot of comics, and i can look at a comic and tell immediately whether i'll enjoy it or not. there are elements in the stories that i have no rapport with. i see dirty language, i see sleazy backgrounds; i see it reflected in the movies, the movies are comics to me. and i don't see a sleazy world. i see hope. i see a positive world.

More From Jack Kirby

There are a lot of good comics, no doubt, but as far as the quality of the comics goes, i think what you have is a bunch of situational comics - there are black comics that work only black crowds, gay comics that do only gay crowds, and southern comics that only work down south, and so on with asian, latino, indian, midgets, etc. the previous generation's comics were better because they had to make everybody laugh.

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
Almost any tale of our doings is comic. we are bottomlessly comic to each other. even the most adored and beloved person is comic to his lover. the novel is a comic form. language is a comic form, and makes jokes in its sleep. god, if he existed, would laugh at his creation. yet it is also the case that life is horrible, without metaphysical sense, wrecked by chance, pain and the close prospect of death. out of this is born irony, our dangerous and necessary tool.

The true art of the gods is the comic. the comic is a condescension of the divine to the world of man; it is the sublime vision, which cannot be studied, but must ever be celestially granted. in the comic the gods see their own being reflected as in a mirror, and while the tragic poet is bound by strict laws, they will allow the comic artist a freedom as unlimited as their own.

Comic books sort of follow with the move - if people see the movie and if they're interested in the character and want to see more of the character, they start buying the comic books. so a good movie helps the sale of the comic books and the comic books help the movie and one hand washes the other. so, i don't think there's any reason to think that comics will die out.
Moving Book Character
The lovely thing about writing comics for so many years is that comics is a medium that is mistaken for a genre. it's not that there are not genres within comics, but because comics tend to be regarded as a genre in itself, content becomes secondary; as long as i was doing a comic, people would pick it up.
