Jack King is the eldest in the care home. A prodigy of imagination, always telling fascinating stories, but recently suffering from extreme fatigue and lack of motivation. Then comes Mike, a young orderly who will help restore Jack's spirit and his much-loved library, a place fallen into disarray and near abandonment, certainly not unrelated to the sinister pestilence lurking on its shelves...
A fictionalized tribute to JACK KIRBY, to the men who better took care of his work, and to others who suffered the same creative and editorial constraints throughout their careers.
In The Man Who Dreamt The Impossible: A Tribute To Jack Kirby #1, Mrio Freitas demonstrates why this luminary casts an eternal shadow. Through his story, readers discover the magnitude of his contributions, his impact on later writers and artists, and how Jack Kirby's creations have transcended their original medium.

The drama of the life of Kirby is something that is insanely difficult to distill dow into a single graphic novel. Theres so much that gets fdropped around the edges of the narrrative. And so its not quite as satisfying as it should be because Kirby had such a long and fascinating life. In the end, Freitas and Pereiras work feels like a fascinating initial study to a much longer series that would be a hell of a lot more stasfying in the long run. As it stands, its a fun, little curiosity that celebrates the life of a great artist. Read Full Review
