In 1969, Sheldon Feldner contacted Marvel Comics, asking if one of Marvel’s artists would be interested in designing costumes for a production of William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar by the University Theatre Company at Santa Cruz at the newly-built Cowell College of the University of California at Santa Cruz.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

As luck would have it, the Kirby family had recently moved to California, and Stan Lee recommended that Feldner contact Jack Kirby.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

The article<\/a> showcases several examples of Kirby’s designs plus more history of the Cowell College play, color photos of the actors in Kirby-designed costumes, and even a .pdf of a piece from a Santa Cruz area newspaper Sunday supplement.<\/p>\n

All in all a very interesting overview of Kirby history that I was previously unaware.<\/p>\n
