It was 92 years ago today that Jack Kirby was born.

Some classic early covers over on the S&K blog. It’s also good day to catch up with some of the other great stuff Harry has been posting if you’ve fallen behind.

Long time Kirby associate and biographer Mark Evanier has a short note and an old photo.

Check out Kirby-Vison for some Kirby inspired artwork and Kirby Kinetics for a look at his story-telling.

Bully has hourly posts about Kirby in comics and on film.

Lots of other posts around the blogiverse, click here for more.

Available now from DC is a hardcover collection of the S&K Sandman stories from the 1940s. Harry Mendryk got a copy recently and took a look at it over here, if you’re curious.

Next year should see a matching volume for the Newsboy Legion by S&K. Boy Commandos would probably need multiple volumes, and I guess a slim Manhunter book (maybe with Kirby’s 1970s one-shot?) might be in the future as well.

Updated a few more recent reprints, mostly Marvel’s various lines continuing as scheduled, plus the most recent Kirby Collector came out a few weeks ago.
