Upcoming Kirby – Complete Kirby v5

by

Pure Imagination has THE COMPLETE KIRBY v5 back on the schedule. This was solicited back in 2005 but never came out. Hopefully this time it will. Lots of great stuff in this era. Note that this is labelled as “Volume 4” in some of the material I’ve seen from Diamond’s solicitations, but would actually be Volume 5.


THE COMPLETE JACK KIRBY VOLUME 5 TP
by Jack Kirby & Joe Simon
160 pages of art and story by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon from September and October of 1947. Amazing material includes: “My Date,” “The Flyin’ Fool,” “Lockjaw the Alligator,” crime stories, and the first issue of Young Romance. Foreword by Kirby historian Greg Theakston.
Softcover, 8×11, 160pgs, B&W $25.00

    well.
    if the thing ever gets released, I wouldn’t resist, I surely couldn’t, but I tend to think that those reprints are mere crumbs of the King’s work at the time.
    any chance that DC will ever come up with the good idea of collecting the 1940’s Manhunter, Sandman or Boy Commandoes stories Simon and Kirby did together?
    what’s your opinion?

    I think, given the current reprint environment, that it’s almost a certainty that we’ll see some book from DC featuring the golden age S&K material in the next five years (a few years ago I’d have given less than 50% odds). Not sure what format is most likely, as they have quite a few options.
