The Comics Journal Library Vol. 1 Jack Kirby Interviews (2002)
Like any popular medium, comic books in the 20th century were marked by trends. Unlike music or film or television, comics can point to a small handful of men who, through a combination of imagination and artistry, dictated those trends. Chief among the idea men was Jack "King" Kirby. Kirby's dynamic art and limitless imagination were responsible for much of what made comics great from the 1940s through the '70s. With early collaborator Joe Simon, Kirby created C... mehr >
Dark Horse Presents # 103 (October 1995)
Jack Kirby is the undeniable King of Comics. He created most of the heroes we all grew up with. But superheroes weren't his exclusive subject matter -- he also drew westerns, crime stories, romance comics . . . and Bible plates. In the 1970s, Kirby illustrated his favorite scenes from the Old Testament; not comic stories, but illustrative plates. "It was the best work of his life," says Roz Kirby. "The artwork he was most proud of." For a look at the greatest work of... mehr >

Supermen! collects the best and the brightest of this first gen... mehr >
The Comics Journal # 167 (1994)
A two-sided flip-book issue. On one side: Who is Paul Mavrides?

High Adventure # 1 (1973)
Kitchen Sink Press in the early '70s was associated almost entirely with underground comix, implying high levels of raunch, irreverence and drugs. High Adventure was the closest KSP came to publishing a Star-Reach type "ground level" comic in those days. Essentially this was a straight adventure comic with a bare breast here and there. Nice wraparound cover by Bob Kline. Stories include "Nimbus" by Mark Evanier and Kline; "Lord Sabre" by Evanier, Steve Leialoha and Jo... mehr >
