If you're drawing a western town, you can duplicate that western town from instinct alone. some artists may take it from other illustrations or duplicate what you've drawn, but it will never have that gut reality that's instinctive in the artist.

More From Jack Kirby

And, because my role in society - or any artist or poet's role - is to try to express what we all feel. not to tell people how to feel, not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all. and it's like that's the job of the artist in society, not to...they're not some alienated being living on the outskirts of town. it's fine to live on the outskirts of town, but artists must reflect what we all are. … if that's taken it too much on meself, i feel that artists are that - they're reflections of society... mirrors.

We must never fear robbers or murderers. they are dangers from outside, small dangers. it is ourselves we have to fear. prejudice is the real robber, vice the real murderer. why should we be troubled by a threat to our person or our pocket? what we have to beware of is the threat to our souls'.
