NS: Jack Kirby Honored As New York Renames His Birthplace "Yancy Street"
Wednesday, 9 July 2025 11:01 amcygnia posting in scans_dailyJack Kirby Honored As New York Renames His Birthplace "Yancy Street"
"The corner of the Lower East Side of New York City, Essex Street and Delancey Street, the birthplace of Fantastic Four creator Jack Kirby, has been renamed today in a civic ceremony as Jack Kirby Way and Yancy Street. Jack Kirby was born and lived on that corner, at 147 Essex Street. And he paid tribute to the place he grew up, creating Yancy Street, home to Ben Grimm, The Thing. Much of the Thing's life was based on Jack Kirby and is reflected somewhat in the upcoming movie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. And hence the ceremony today, attended by members of Jack Kirby's family and Marvel staffers."

The negative thoughts and fears that once held us captive are now dissipating, giving way to a renewed sense of empowerment and freedom. The reversed 8 of Swords reminds us that we have the power to overcome our self-imposed restrictions and embrace a life filled with possibilities and growth.
