JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR #85
Fall 2022 – 84-page FULL-COLOR magazine
Jack Kirby Collector #85 brings to life “Kirby: Animated”, detailing how Kirby and his concepts leaped from celluloid, to paper, and back again! From his 1930s start on Popeye and Betty Boop and his work being used on the 1960s Marvel Super-Heroes show, to Fantastic Four (in both 1967 and 1978), Super Friends/Super Powers, Scooby-Doo, Thundarr the Barbarian, and Ruby-Spears: it’s the ultimate look at Jack’s work in, and influence on, animation! Then comics and animation’s Evan Dorkin talks about his Kirby inspirations and an abandoned Kamandi animated series. Plus our regular columnists, and from 2017’s Baltimore Comic-Con: Mark Evanier celebrates Kirby’s 100th birthday with Tom King, Walter Simonson, Mark Buckingham, Jerry Ordway, Dean Haspiel, John K. Snyder III, and the Kirby Museum’s Rand Hoppe. With a gallery of Jack’s pencil art, and an unpublished Kirby cover inked by Evan Dorkin. Edited by John Morrow.
Here's the TwoMorrows link for orders, I assume it can also be pre-ordered through your local comic shop or resource: https://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_57&products_id=1667
One of these days I might post a few things from the Kamandi bible Sarah and I wrote for WB some years back. I still think it's one of the best things we ever did, and I also think it could have made a terrific show. Supposedly, a lot of the feedback WB got from network/streaming channel execs went along the lines of, "too much humor to be an adventure series, too much adventure to be a humor series". Whatever.
