The Adventures of Jack Kirby & Ed Wood

Not a true life adventure! Totally made up! But a real video that will make any fanboy squee!

‘The King & The Worst’ – by TeamTVWriter Press Service

One of our minions sent us the URL to this astounding work. How he found it, we don’t know. Here’s what the YouTube entry has to say:

During the Second World War, terrible things happened but what was never known was that the fate of the world depended on two soldiers: «The king of comics», Jack Kirby and «The worst director ever» Ed Wood. Their mission was to embrace their unusual fate. Bats, dead nazies, evil beings and a strange mentor will change their lives, but not in this world, it will all be on the other side of the mirror.

What’s that? You’re wondering about the names? Yes, they’re Spanish…and the video’s in Spanish too, with English subtitles to increase the weird, alien, WTF? factor. Try it and we’re sure you’ll agree with the only English comment on YouTube: “just awesome.”

EDITED TO ADD: We’re kind of stoked by the fact that David Galán Galindo, the writer-director of this short, has posted an interesting and edifying comment that you can read for yourselves below.

EDITED AGAIN TO ADD: We’ve seen several of David’s videos, and they’re not only funny, they’re professional as hell. You can see them too.

One thought on “The Adventures of Jack Kirby & Ed Wood”

  1. Thanks a lot! I love yours words about TK&TW, I only wanted make a funny adventure story with 2 of my XX Century icons. It´s a short film made without money and many good (and crazy) friends 🙂
    I was recording it six years ago, is a very amateur work, but I look back on it very fondly because that’s where I got my roots.
