It was cloudy and drizzly when Chelsea Wolfe stepped onstage at the Cruel World festival in Pasadena, California, where the lineup was dominated by a brooding crowd of dark wave, dark pop, and postpunk sounds. For Wolfe—arriving in a long black dress, her stage fog blending with the natural mist—it was her first live performance of 2025, after focusing part of this year on songwriting for her next album, which remains in the very early stages.

He’s collapsed onto a couch and is practically horizontal, catching his breath at a rehearsal space in North Hollywood, California, where this man with the shaved head is bearing the weight of another season of music creation and all the contract negotiations and promotion that comes with it.

Jack Kirby was a comic book superhero. As an artist and writer, he was the essential creator or co-creator behind entire worlds of heroes and villains, interstellar conflicts and what has become billion-dollar franchises.

He always bounced back. He’d begun in the 1950s playing traditional R&B, releasing his first record at 12 as Little Jerry Williams from Portsmouth, Virginia. What followed was an unlikely career as producer, songwriter, manager, A&R man, and hit-maker.
