Too far ahead of its time for Tinseltown, Jack instead adapted his \u201cVisual Novel\u201d as a six- issue mini-series for Pacific Comics in the early 1980s, making it the last original creation of his career. Now, in SILVER STAR: GRAPHITE EDITION, \u201cKing\u201d Kirby\u2019s final, great series is collected at last, this time reproduced from his powerful, uninked pencil art! Read the complete story of Homo-Geneticus, the New Breed of humanity that spawns both hero (Silver Star) and villain (the nefarious Darius Drumm), leading to one of the most action- packed narratives and spellbinding climaxes ever conceived on a comics page! And as a special bonus, read Kirby\u2019s provocative screenplay, reproduced in its entirety, including illustrations and never-published character sketches! Plus there\u2019s pin-ups and other rare Kirby art, and an historical overview to put it all in perspective. A percentage of profits from this book go to the Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center, so don\u2019t ask, just buy it! $20.00 cover price.<\/p>\n<p>(note that an additional percentage goes to the Kirby Museum through the Amazon.com link)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Showing up in comic stores today, SILVER STAR GRAPHITE EDITION from TwoMorrows.
