Jack Kirby Collector (1994 TwoMorrows) comic books 2012-2014

The Jack Kirby Collector #59 shifts to a new format and opens 'The Kirby Vault', unlocking a treasure trove of rarities by the 'King' of comics! There's personal correspondence from Jack to fans and co-workers, private photos and accounts from family and friends' interaction with Kirby, a color gallery of his amazing collage work, rare art from Marvelmania, bootleg album covers featuring Kirby art, private sketches, and other artifacts. Plus: A transcript of a never-before released 1969 visit by San Diego fans to the Kirby home (where Jack answers all the questions you would ask if you were there in '69)! Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector continues in its new format, with a Fantastic Four follow-up issue to #58's 'The Wonder Years.' It starts with a dynamic, never-before published Kirby FF wraparound cover (and wait'll you see the flip side)! Also, we present a dual interview between classic FF inkers Joe Sinnott and Dick Ayers. Then, there's a rare Lee & Kirby interview, and we compare one of Jack and Stan's FF Bullpen story conferences to what ended up on Stan's final script and Jack's penciled pages. Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector #61's theme is Jack Kirby: Writer! Whether creating stories while drawing, or pecking away at a typewriter, Kirby gave his work a unique voice which fans either love or hate. Don't miss this examination of the quirks of Kirby's conceptualizing and wordsmithing, from the operatic Fourth World to melodramatic romance work, and beyond! There's a feature-length Kirby interview, MARK EVANIER and our other regular columnists, galleries of pencil art including New Gods, Destroyer Duck, 2001, and more! Unseen Kirby cover painting! Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector is a deluxe, 100-page full-color DC issue! Believe it or not, Kirby actually worked longer for DC than Marvel over the years, so here's a celebration of his best work for the company. (With full-color, you'll see the Fourth World covered like never before!) There's a feature-length Kirby interview, Mark Evanier and our other regular columnists, an updated 'X-Numbers' list of Kirby's DC assignments (revealing some surprises), Jerry Boyd's insights on Kirby's work, a look at key 1970s events in Kirby's life and career, galleries of pencil art including Forever People, OMAC, The Demon, and more, plus a new Orion cover inked by Mike Royer! Cover price $10.95.

Jack Kirby Collector #63 takes you back inside the creation of the Marvel Universe with the late Mark Alexander, author of issue #58's Lee & Kirby: The Wonder Years! Mark worked tirelessly on a lengthy Lee/Kirby essay entitled 'A Universe A'Borning' before his passing, and we proudly present it here! There's also a Kirby interview, Mark Evanier and our other regular columnists, a look at key late-1970s events in Kirby's life and career, Stan Lee script pages, unseen Kirby pencils and unused art from Thor, Nick Fury, Hulk and Fantastic Four, plus galleries of Eternals, Black Panther, and more, all behind a wraparound cover inked by Mike Royer! Edited by John Morrow. Cover price $10.95.
