Demon by Jack Younger6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() GROTH: Who did you deal with at DC? Did you have an editor that you dealt with directly? I made enough money to enjoy myself a little more than I would have if I didn’t have enough money. I was happy because I made enough money to give to my parents. But the idea was the artist came from a poor section of the city. GROTH: But still at that time they owned everything you did, they paid a low page rate, they kept the original art. There was also Timely and Dell and a lot of others. And DC wasn’t the only publishing house in the field. I’ll just say that nobody in the field had a contract from anybody. GROTH: When you say they were fair - you still didn’t get to own the strips you drew. I always liked DC - they were fair, which was very rare in comics. I felt National had always been a respectable house, a prestige house. ![]() So how did your affiliation with National come about? Did you just drop by the offices and look for work? And I believe you also created Challengers of the Unknown for National in ’58. GROTH: I believe you started the Skymasters strip in ’57. From the TCJ Archives Jack Kirby Interview ![]()
