So, turns out that Disney President Bob Iger's late great-uncle (his grandfather's brother) was illustrator-cartoonist Jerry Iger, who partnered with illustrator-cartoonist Will Eisner back in the 30's to create ... wait for it ... the comic-book packager Eisner & Iger Studios. Their first hire was Jack Kirby, who - with Stan Lee - went on to co-create many of Marvel's best known characters.
Stranger than Fiction, folks, stranger.than.fiction.
