\"\"<\/a>Coming this fall from Abrams ComicsArts is THE SOMEDAY FUNNIES<\/a>, edited by Michel Choquette, an anthology of comics about the 1960s begun in the early 1970s, and including among the contributors Jack Kirby with a two page story “The Ballad of Beardsley Bullfeather, or, Tune In — Cop-Out and Drop-Up!”.\u00a0 It’s a nice little story, but if you don’t want to buy a $55 book just for that, other contributors include C. C. Beck, Rene Goscinny, Harvey Kurtzman, Moebius, Art Spiegelman, William Burroughs, Federico Fellini, Frank Zappa and Gahan Wilson.<\/p>\n

Bit of an odd choice both in timing and content for this book from DC:<\/p>\n

DC COMICS PRESENTS: THE JACK KIRBY OMNIBUS SAMPLER #1<\/strong>
\nWritten by Various
\nArt by JACK KIRBY and others
\nCover by JACK KIRBY
\nOn sale OCTOBER 26\u00a0 96 pg, $7.99
\nWith the JACK KIRBY OMNIBUS VOL. 1 \u2013 STARRING GREEN ARROW HC on the way, DC presents this selection of Kirby mystery stories from the 1950s, pulled from the pages of HOUSE OF SECRETS #3, 8 and 12, HOUSE OF MYSTERY #76, TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED #13, 1 and 24 and MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #15, 16 17, 20 and 21, plus a Green Arrow tale from ADVENTURE COMICS #251!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That KIRBY OMNIBUS<\/a> that this is sampling should be out in a few weeks, and this sampler is a bit under a third of the contents of the book. You’d think they’d have the sampler come out prior to the book in question.\u00a0 I also think this would have been more effective as an overall Kirby sampler, maybe with a few of these stories mixed in with some Sandman, Newsboy Legion, Boy Commandos, one of the as-yet-unreprinted Manhunter tales, a Challengers story, maybe a 1970s story or two.<\/p>\n

Also from DC,<\/p>\n

The contents suggest that’s a straight softcover edition of the 2007 book, although the page count is low for the contents, so one or the other is probably a typo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
