The Greatest Generation, Take One
+ Lee, Kirby, and Ayers create unique WWII comic + Paperback Edition, Please??
I owned the thirteen issues collected in this Masterwork volume, and
indeed, they are masterworks. Death was a reality in Sgt. Fury, as the youngest Howler, Junior Juniper, was killed in issue #3. Reed Richards
made an appearance in the same issue as an OSS agent working with the
Italian ...

The Eternals Omnibus 9 reviews Jack Kirby
Marvel Comics, 2006
There is no more comics like this anymore.
+ Excellent sequential art and writing for most of it's run + Shows real promise, then falters
Wow, I discovered Kirby for the first time a couple of years ago,
but one can feel his Impact in all media, he practically defined
the qualities of a Hero in modern america.
The Eternals is a great story, other people rate as outdated, but
unfortunately I am not aware of that many titles that ...

Challengers of the Unknown Archives, Vol. 1 (DC Archive Editions) 4 reviews Jack Kirby, Dave Wood
DC Comics, 2003
Kirby without Stan Lee
+ What Jack Kirby did between Joe Simon and Stan Lee + Pre-Fantastic Four Kirby at Its Best!!!!!!
This Archive Edition of four Showcase tryouts and the first two issues of Challengers of the Unknown presents a delightful kalidescope of romping Jack Kirby action. Very different from anything else in the late 1950's DC universe.The Showcase issues are each one very long and complexly developed ...

Marvel Visionaries: Jack Kirby 5 reviews Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, ...
Marvel Comics, 2004
Long the live King Kirby.
+ The King Deserves Better Than He Ever Got From Marvel... + Return of the KING!
Would there have been a comics industry without Jack Kirby? Yes, I think there would have, but it might not have been as fun. This book reprints a wide format of stories (see the Amazon description above) in a format worthy of Kirby.
Particularly nice was the inclusion of the "What-If?" story ...

It's funny how the mind works...I can't remember where I put my keys half the time but I still remember, over thirty years later, the first time I saw and issue of Kamandi.

DC split Kirby's run on the Challengers of the Unknown between two slimmer than average (hence the smaller price) DC Archives.

Kamandi Archives, Volume 1 (DC Archive Editions) 4 reviews Jack Kirby
DC Comics, 2005
PERHAPS KIRBY'S LAST GREAT WORK
+ Classic Kamandi by Kirby!! + Kamandi Archives 1
Kamandi was a unique book in a number of ways. It was one of the first projects, along with the New Gods, that Jack "The King" Kirby worked on after leaving Marvel for DC in the early 1970's. The days of artists bullpens of the 60's and 70's are pretty well gone today by work-for-hire freelancers ...

Silver Star (Jack Kirby's Silver Star) 3 reviews Jack Kirby
Image Comics, 2007
A Beautiful Book!
+ Not the best Kirby art but Kirby is about concepts
While I'm not reviewing the story here (you either like Kirby's weirder, wild independent work or you don't), I would like to say that the actual hardcover produced of Silver Star is GORGEOUS. Oversized, dazzling color, a historical introduction by the original publisher, along with the screenplay ...

"Marvel Masterworks: Captain America, Volume 2" collects issues #82-99 of "Tales of Suspense" and the first issue of Captain America's own magazine, which continues the numbering with #100 (Iron Man, Cap's co-star in "Tales of Suspense," got to start over with issue #1).
