…and you’ll find twenty-eight of them in this book! Twenty-eight writers tackle twenty-eight topics, all of them about the incredible, invincible, uncanny, and mighty works of the King of Comics! There have been many books on Kirby—but never before like this one!
Jack Kirby’s comic book output during the 1960s and 1970s was truly groundbreaking, forming universes and creating concepts that have stood the test of time to this very day. Jack of All Comics covers nearly every single title the King worked on throughout those two decades to celebrate, converse, and sometimes even kvetch over the highs and lows of each series with insightful and illuminating essays.
Join a cool collection of wondrous writers as they bring the Kirby Krackle to jaw about Jack! Dive into the deep end as they deliver the details on the Kirby Influence over both the Marvel Universe and the DC Universe! Read along with their riotous raconteuring of personal tales of their first experiences with Jack’s powerful pencils and crafty concepts and characters! Kirby’s here—don’t ask! Just buy it!
Editor and lifelong King of Comics fan Jim Beard is joined herein by such stalwart scribes as Will Murray, Robert Greenberger, Paul Kupperberg, Cliff Biggers, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Dan Wickline and many, many more! Jack’s never been covered by a passel of powerful personalities like this! It’s a Boom Tube to Supertown by way of the Rainbow Bridge!
