Pair of major Kirby reprints in the latest solicitations.\u00a0 Big news is of course the S&K SUPERHEROES book, with a lot of great material in 480 pages.\u00a0 The 7.5×11 size is a bit smaller than the BEST OF S&K book, but bigger than the standard Marvel or DC reprint, the images should be close to their original golden age print size.\u00a0 Most sources are still listing it as coming out later this year (October, it seems), but that’s subject to change, and if you’re planning to get it from a comic book store now is a good time to let them know you’re interested.\u00a0 Page 315 of the April 2010 Previews, item APR101071.<\/p>\n

And from Marvel, the Essential reprints get to Kirby’s 1970s run on CAPTAIN AMERICA, starting a few issues prior to his arrival and ending a few issues prior to his departure.\u00a0 Man, if they had made previous volumes a little bit thicker this would be so much better as an all-Kirby volume, running right to his last issue.\u00a0 Oh, well, still a good looking book if you don’t have the originals or the three volumes that reprint the stories in colour.\u00a0 Includes the delightful Bicentennial Battles.<\/p>\n

THE SIMON AND KIRBY SUPERHEROES HC<\/strong><\/a>
\n(W) Joe Simon (A) Jack Kirby
\nBeginning with Blue Bolt in June 1940, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby set the standard for costumed heroes. Their creation Captain America, remains one of the most famous heroes in comic book history, and their work for Timely and DC Comics raised the bar.

Presenting the complete Fighting American, their first collaboration, “The Black Owl,” and Captain 3-D, lavishly restored and presented in full-color for the first time, this is the only edition authorized by both Joe Simon and the estate of Jack Kirby, gathered from the official Simon and Kirby archives. With an introduction from comics legend Neil Gaiman!<\/p>\n
