Mark Evanier's list of professional credits runs from Garfield and Friends to Groo the Wanderer. But he got his start as Jack Kirby’s assistant, and he’s the author of the definitive Jack Kirby biography, Kirby: King of Comics. Space Circus, his collaboration with Sergio Aragonés, has recently come back into print from Dark Horse.
