Some interesting items coming up from Marvel. The long promised “lost issue” of FF, newly finished by the original collaborators, comes out, in an attractive sounding and affordable package. Not sure what the status is on the “finished with modern scripting, inking and colouring” version that had been mentioned before is. Also HULK gets an Omnibus, with about half the book being Kirby. In more obscure reprints, the second Masterwork of Hank Pym stories will have a bunch of Kirby covers, and AVENGERS CLASSIC gets to some non-Kirby material, but will still have a page of Kirby if they continue to run the original covers inside.

FANTASTIC FOUR: THE LOST ADVENTURE
Written by STAN LEE
Pencils & Cover by JACK KIRBY

IT’S THE COMIC BOOK EQUIVALENT OF A LOST BEATLES TRACK! Together, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby produced 102 consecutive issues of FANTASTIC FOUR. But there was a 103rd story they’d begun in 1970, but never finished-until now! Working from copies of Jack’s penciled pages, Stan Lee and Joe Sinnott have reunited, to complete the work they started almost four decades ago! Plus, this super-sized issue includes reproductions of Kirby’s unlinked penciled pages, with border notes and analysis by John Morrow, and a complete reprint of FANTASTIC FOUR #108 by Stan Lee and John Buscema, which incorporated some of the material from the lost story as a flashback.
