Russell Charles Kick III (July 20, 1969 – September 12, 2021) was an
American writer, editor, and publisher.

Russell Charles Kick III was born on July 20, 1969, in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama.[1] Early in his career, Kick wrote articles, a column, and a
cover story for The Village Voice. He was the founder and editor of
The Memory Hole, Memory Hole 2,[2] and Altgov2,[3] which published and
archived U.S. government documents, including scientific studies,
documents received under FOIA and civil rights-related reports,
intelligence and covert action reports, consumer safety reports, and
images including photographs of flag-draped coffins of American
military personnel. These photographs of the war dead garnered
worldwide media attention, including heavy rotation on all 24-hour
news channels and front-page coverage on major newspapers, including
The New York Times.[4] The Memory Hole also gained attention for
posting a completely uncensored version of a Justice Department report
about its internal hiring practices, leading to a front-page story in
The New York Times.[5]

Kick was editor-at-large for The Disinformation Company and he wrote
three books and edited six anthologies for them, including You Are
Being Lied To and 50 Things You're Not Supposed to Know. He also was
editing an anthology of classic and contemporary poems about death for
Disinformation and Red Wheel/Weiser.

He compiled and edited a three-volume, 1,600-page anthology set
entitled The Graphic Canon from Seven Stories Press. The series
features the world's great literature interpreted by more than 120
artists and illustrators such as R. Crumb, Maxon Crumb, Will Eisner,
Molly Crabapple, Sharon Rudahl, Dame Darcy, S. Clay Wilson, Gris
Grimly, Roberta Gregory, Kim Deitch, and Tara Seibel. [6][7] The first
volume,[8] From The Epic of Gilgamesh to Shakespeare to Dangerous
Liaisons (spring 2012), covers literature from ancient times through
the end of the eighteenth century. The second volume,[9] Kubla Khan to
the Brontë Sisters to The Picture of Dorian Gray (fall 2012), is
devoted completely to the nineteenth century. The third volume,[7]
>From Heart of Darkness to Hemingway to Infinite Jest (spring 2013),
covers the entire twentieth century.

The next volume in the continuing project, The Graphic Canon of
Children's Literature, was published in November 2014.[10] The last
volume completed in the series, Graphic Canon of Crime and Mystery was
published in November 2017 by Seven Stories Press.[11] It expanded the
Graphic Canon series into the genres of crime and mystery.

>From 2018 to 2021, he was the director of open records for Rise for
the Animals[12] where he expanded the ARLO (Animal Research Laboratory
Overview) database [13] to include information obtained through FOIA
and public records requests related to animal experimentation and
research facilities.

At the age of 52, Kick died on September 12, 2021, in Tucson, Arizona.[1][14]
