Busy half-year for Kirby publications. Highlight of the half-year is the Newsboy Legion reprint of golden age S&K material from DC.<\/p>\n
Only one issue of TwoMorrows’s long running fan magazine, with some interesting stuff on 1960s Marvel, plus some stories from Kirby’s work for Gilberton’s WORLD AROUND US.<\/p>\n
THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR #54<\/a><\/p>\n A few reprints from DC. Obviously the Newsboy Legion one is the most important. Really good stuff, and their reproduction from printed comics improves with every book.\u00a0 A few of Kirby’s more obscure 1970s creations with only one published story each get reprinted in books collecting later appearances of the characters.<\/p>\n THE NEWSBOY LEGION BY SIMON & KIRBY HC<\/a> A few reprints of public domain material, Lockjaw and Earl the Rich Rabbit in the IDW book and a few crime stories in the Pure Imagination re-issue of the 1980s Eclipse collection.<\/p>\n GOLDEN COLLECTION OF KLASSIC KRAZY KOOL KIDS COMICS<\/a> [IDW] And of course a raft of reprints from Marvel in various formats. The recent re-coloured reprints of the Tales of Asgard back-ups get collected. The old hardcover Masterworks line has one volume with a lot of Kirby monsters, while the softcover line has a whole lot of his super-heroes. The black-and-white Essentials line gets to some 1970s material where Kirby did the covers, and a few other reprints had single Kirby stories.<\/p>\n THOR: TALES OF ASGARD BY STAN LEE & JACK KIRBY HC<\/a> No slowdown in the second half of the year.\u00a0 The highlight should be the second book Joe Simon is doing through Titan, THE SIMON AND KIRBY SUPERHEROES, a 480 page hardcover including just about all the non-DC\/Marvel superhero work the duo did, including the complete Fighting American, Stuntman and a lot more.\u00a0 Last I heard the hope was to have some copies out for the San Diego Con in a few weeks, and general release soon after.\u00a0 Also highly anticipated from DC is THE BOY COMMANDOS BY SIMON & KIRBY HC, the first book of one of the great kid-gang feature.\u00a0 Also one more issue of THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR this year, probably some more public domain reprints and of course a bunch of stuff from Marvel, heavy on the Thor for obvious reasons.\u00a0 Updates over here, as usual.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Busy half-year for Kirby publications.
