...I’m a nine-year-old boy, and ten rabbis are dancing around my bed. And they’re all saying, ‘Come out of this boy, demon. What’s your name demon? Don’t hurt this boy, demon.’ (…) and I think it added to the type of storytelling that I would do later on in life..” - Jack Kirby ...So: let’s assume for a moment that a society cannot exist without mythology (no matter how much we resent it), and that the shamans who create these myths continue to be born (whether we have a place for them or not). That mythology would have to escape somewhere, and those shamans would have to find some way of expressing it. What better place than in the shitpile of tasteless sludge we call “Pop Culture”? Keep that in mind when you take your kids to see the next X-Men movie... _______________________ For Bill Bridges, John Bridges, Mara Elkheart, Sam Inabinet, Sam Chupp, Mark Jackson, Jon Sewell, Aron Tarbuck, Lazarus Chernik, Sj Tucker, Coyote Ward, Tristån Erickson, James High, Brian Campbell, Bryan Syme, and others disinfo/2014/06/jack-kirby-comic-book-mysticism/
