Jack Kirby Collector #85 brings to life 'Kirby: Animated', detailing how Kirby and his concepts leaped from celluloid, to paper, and back again! From his 1930s start on Popeye and Betty Boop and his work being used on the 1960s Marvel Super-Heroes show, to Fantastic Four (in both 1967 and 1978), Super Friends/Super Powers, Scooby-Doo, Thundarr the Barbarian, and Ruby-Spears: it's the ultimate look at Jack's work in, and influence on, animation! Then comics and animation's Evan Dorkin talks about his Kirby inspirations and an abandoned Kamandi animated series.

Written by VARIOUS. Art and Cover by Jack Kirby. Since TJKC is for Kirby collectors, we're doing a whole issue about collectors! This issue we'll explore people's quest for and purchase of Jack's original artwork, and what it means to them to own not just the art, but the Kirby comics themselves. Collectors share personal stories about meeting Jack and never-published photos from their encounters, choice fan-art and fan-fiction pertaining to Jack, and some of the coolest memorabilia and Kirby art you've ever laid eyes on! Plus an interview with Marv Wolfman about his (and friend Len Wein's) interactions with Jack first as fans, and then as pros.

Written by VARIOUS. Art and Cover by Jack Kirby. This 'What If Kirby...?' issue takes a trip through alternate timelines to discern what might've happened if Jack hadn't been stopped cold in his attempts at revolutionizing comics. We'll consider his ill-fated Speak-Out Series of upscale magazines, DC's abandonment of the Fourth World, his original rejected Spider-Man presentation, Fredric Wertham's effect on Mainline Comics, and even the CIA's involvement with the Lord of Light project! Had things been different, how would Jack's career and output have changed? Plus, Tom Kraft discusses his journey to create and build the 'What If Kirby' website, and teaming with favorite Kirby inkers (including Royer, Sinnott, and Ayers) to produce reimagined Kirby artwork. Also, there's a rare Kirby interview, Mark Evanier and our other regular columnists, a classic Simon & Kirby story, a deluxe gallery of Kirby pencil art, and more!

Written by VARIOUS. Art and Cover by Jack Kirby. For its 30th anniversary issue, the Jack Kirby Collector pulls out all the stops for a celebration of Kirby's Greatest Victories! We cover all the major triumphs, from Jack getting the girl (wife Roz Kirby) and scoring early hits with Captain America and Boy Commandos, surviving WWII combat (and helping defeat Hitler!), and unprecedented success with pioneering romance comics, to launching Captain Victory and the direct market, resolving his original art battle with Marvel Comics, and posthumously winning credit at Marvel in 2014-which is the culmination of what the Kirby Collector was all about from its beginning in September 1994! There's also Mark Evanier and our regular columnists, a colossal gallery of Kirby's winningest pencil art, a never-reprinted Simon & Kirby story, and a pat on the back to TwoMorrows' own victories in helping spread the word about the King of Comics! With a Kirby self-portrait cover inked by Vince Colletta. Edited by John Morrow. 80 pages, full color. Cover price $10.95.

By John Morrow, Jon B. Cooke, and Richard Kilkman.
For its 80th issue, the Jack Kirby Collector magazine presents a double-sized 50th anniversary examination of Kirby's magnum opus!
Spanning the pages of four different comics starting in 1970 (New Gods, Forever People, Mister Miracle, and Jimmy Olsen), the sprawling "Epic for our times" was cut short mid-stream, leaving fans wondering how Jack would've resolved the confrontation between evil Darkseid of Apokolips and his son Orion of New Genesis.
This companion to that "Fourth World" series looks back at Jack Kirby's own words, as well as those of assistants Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman, inker Mike Royer, and publisher Carmine Infantino, to determine how it came about, where it was going, and how Kirby would've ended it before it was prematurely cancelled by DC Comics!
It also examines Kirby's use of gods in Thor and other strips prior to the Fourth World, how they influenced his DC epic, and affected later series like The Eternals and Captain Victory.
Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 160 pages, PC/PB&W.
NOTE: This item doubles as Jack Kirby Collector (1994 Magazine/Treasury) #80.
