That’s good to hear. I like art books just fine, but reading books are so much better. A reading book with the quality of an art book sounds like just what S&K deserve, especially after so many years of mostly being seen through second generation reproductions.

Thanks for the kind words, and the plug, Harry.

BobH, what little we can say is that we want this to be a reading book, and for fans to see Simon and Kirby Studio material in a way that they have never seen before, much like the “Fighting American” story in Evanier’s book.

Yes, I really not in a position to provide any more details beyond what was provided in the announcement. All I can say Charlie Kochman did a great job on Evanier’s book and I am fully confident that his efforts on this book will satisfy Simon and Kirby fans such as yourself.

That sounds very interesting. Good to see that the major books from Titan next year are just the beginning.

I understand if you can’t answer yet, but do you know if this book will have full stories, or just isolated pages? I can see the benefit of either approach, but would prefer full stories (or maybe a mix, having a section of notable single pages to add some variety).
