Pair of Kirby items in the latest DC solicitations. Another “Countdown” branded one-shot with some Kirby, this time the great OMAC #1 (though you might want to hold off on that if you just want that story, since a reprint of the full OMAC series is likely only a few months away). And some early Kirby shows up in a reprint of some Captain Marvel stories. Presumably, from the page count of the book, only one of the four Kirby stories from CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #1 [1941] will be included. Reprints of the full issue can be found in SHAZAM ARCHIVES #2 and in THE COMPLETE JACK KIRBY #2.
