Upcoming Kirby – Don’t Yield, Buy SHIELD

by

Pair of reprints scheduled for Marvel in September. AVENGERS CLASSIC continues, with the re-introduction of Captain America. The recent first issue also indicated that they’ll be including the original letter columns in the series. Bigger news is that SHIELD gets a Masterworks volume, running straight through to the end of Kirby’s involvement with the series, including a few side trips. A lot of these are just Kirby layouts, but some are full pencils, and the artists doing the finishing on the others are some top notch guys.
