Congratulations to Joe Simon, born 95 years ago today.

As usual for all your Joe Simon needs I refer you to Harry Mendryk’s S&K Blog, and look out for several books by Simon in the next year.

Today is Joe Simon’s 94th birthday, and he’s still going strong. Happy Birthday, Joe.

Mark Evanier has a post up about Simon. And of course you should keep an eye on the S&K Blog for a regular dose of some great analysis and wonderfully restored classic comic book images from Simon’s career.

Over on the S&K Blog, Harry mentions that it’s Joe Simon’s birthday. Many happy returns to Jack Kirby’s longtime partner, and check the last few weeks of Harry’s blog for some great examples of Simon’s early work.

August 28, 1917, 89 years ago today, Jack Kirby was born. I think for this day I’m going to keep the words to a minimum and post some of my favourite Kirby splash pages. Stay tuned for more throughout the day.

If you’ve got your own site and put up anything about Kirby today feel free to throw a link in the comments.

Also Happy Birthday to the Jack Kirby Museum, officially launched this day last year. Lots of great stuff already available on-line thanks to the Museum, the least of which being hosting for this weblog. Take a look around.

Back in town

Bob — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 23:43:17 +0000

I’m back from my trip. Give me a few days to recover and I should be back to daily posting by the weekend. Lots of stuff to catch up on, including several Kirby reprints released in the past few weeks, as well as a few things I saw in the UK that I need to find more information on.

Edit: actually, I see Rand must have updated the Kirby Announcement page on stuff that came out. Thanks, Rand. Didn’t realize the COMIC STRIP book had come out. Something to look forward to for sure. And that ETERNALS book sure is tempting, though pricy.

June 28, 2006 – THE COMIC STRIP JACK KIRBY VOLUME 1 TP (1930s strips including Socko and Blue Beetle)

June 28, 2006 – MARVEL MILESTONES: RAWHIDE KID & TWO-GUN KID (first Kirby issues of each)
