Items related to The Simon and Kirby Library: Horror
In the early 1950's, comics were resplendent with rotting corpses, severed heads, scantily clad women, monsters of all shapes and sizes. Before the congressional witch-hunt, it was the golden age of horror, including the unmatched storytelling of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Collecting more than 300 pages of terrifying tales - all of the stories produced by Joe and Jack themselves for Black Magic and Strange World of Your Dreams - these are genuine masterpieces of the macabre.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Kirby, Jack (illustrator). Hardcover. From the Golden Age of the comic book era comes an unrivalled collection of terrifying tales that thrilled readers and appalled a nation! At every point, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby raised the bar. When they came to comics, Superman had been around for about a year, and the medium was still in its infancy. They took the action and made it explode, breaking out of the panels and sprinting across the page. They showed what comics could do, experimenting with layout and design, creating the first full-page panels and double page spreads. Their first million-seller was a superhero (Captain America), and their next was military adventure that outsold Superman (DC's Boy Commandos). These two guys from Rochester and Brooklyn broke all the rules when they created the first romance comics, and they blazed trails in every genre: horror, science fiction, crime etc . Their work in the legendary Black Magic was acclaimed by readers, and foreshadowed The Twilight Zone with stories about the malevolent living doll, the thing outside of the airplane, and the beautiful woman in an asylum of freaks! A collection of terrifying tales. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781848569591
