Jack Kirby Collector (1994 TwoMorrows) comic books 2011-2013

Focusing on 'Unfinished Sagas' - series, stories, and arcs Jack never got to properly finish, and concepts that never got off the ground. From True Divorce Cases and Raam to Kobra and Dingbats, there'll be gobs of unused art and text, including a complete story from Soul Love! We'll also present the rarely-seen 1946 Boy Explorers story, 'Trip to the Moon', two Kirby Tribute Panels, plus Mark Evanier and our other regular columnists, pencil art galleries, and more! All behind two Kirby covers (the 'Galaxy Green' presentation, inked by Mike Royer, and the unseen cover for Soul Love)! Edited by John Morrow. Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector #57 focuses on 'Legendary Kirby,' spotlighting Jack's use of the stuff of legend in his work! From angels and devils to Demons and demi-gods, we'll examine how Kirby put his own spin on classic folklore to immortalize it in the comics realm. There's Tony Isabella on Satan's Six (with Kirby's unseen layouts for the series), Jon B. Cooke with behind-the-scenes secrets of Atlas and other Kirby DC titles, the Biblical inspirations behind Devil Dinosaur, Thor as viewed through the eyes of mythologist Joseph Campbell, and how the legendary JFK Conspiracy affected Jack! NOTE: For Vol. 58 see - Jack Kirby Collector Fifty-Eight Presents Lee and Kirby The Wonder Years 1961-1970 SC (2011). Cover price $10.95.

The Jack Kirby Collector #59 shifts to a new format and opens 'The Kirby Vault', unlocking a treasure trove of rarities by the 'King' of comics! There's personal correspondence from Jack to fans and co-workers, private photos and accounts from family and friends' interaction with Kirby, a color gallery of his amazing collage work, rare art from Marvelmania, bootleg album covers featuring Kirby art, private sketches, and other artifacts. Plus: A transcript of a never-before released 1969 visit by San Diego fans to the Kirby home (where Jack answers all the questions you would ask if you were there in '69)! Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector continues in its new format, with a Fantastic Four follow-up issue to #58's 'The Wonder Years.' It starts with a dynamic, never-before published Kirby FF wraparound cover (and wait'll you see the flip side)! Also, we present a dual interview between classic FF inkers Joe Sinnott and Dick Ayers. Then, there's a rare Lee & Kirby interview, and we compare one of Jack and Stan's FF Bullpen story conferences to what ended up on Stan's final script and Jack's penciled pages. Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector #61's theme is Jack Kirby: Writer! Whether creating stories while drawing, or pecking away at a typewriter, Kirby gave his work a unique voice which fans either love or hate. Don't miss this examination of the quirks of Kirby's conceptualizing and wordsmithing, from the operatic Fourth World to melodramatic romance work, and beyond! There's a feature-length Kirby interview, MARK EVANIER and our other regular columnists, galleries of pencil art including New Gods, Destroyer Duck, 2001, and more! Unseen Kirby cover painting! Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector is a deluxe, 100-page full-color DC issue! Believe it or not, Kirby actually worked longer for DC than Marvel over the years, so here's a celebration of his best work for the company. (With full-color, you'll see the Fourth World covered like never before!) There's a feature-length Kirby interview, Mark Evanier and our other regular columnists, an updated 'X-Numbers' list of Kirby's DC assignments (revealing some surprises), Jerry Boyd's insights on Kirby's work, a look at key 1970s events in Kirby's life and career, galleries of pencil art including Forever People, OMAC, The Demon, and more, plus a new Orion cover inked by Mike Royer!
