First Iteration of Long-Awaited Jack Kirby Bio Lands at Harry N Abrams



One of the interesting known-about books about comics out there for years now has been Mark Evanier's biography of the great cartoonist Jack Kirby. The book presented something of a publishing problem: on the one hand, it was humongous, accruing page after page as the months past; on the other hand, it was clear the subject matter would benefit most from an established book publisher who would be more likely to want a less comprehensive book. Evanier's solution is to sell Harry N Abrams a book called Kirby: King of Comics that is of a deluxe but negotiable size and will be out this Fall. And then, after a couple more years during which the book will probably grow even larger than rumors say, Evanier will loose upon the world the larger, more comprehensive version and you won't see some of us for two weeks.

Here's a nice appreciation of the King that ran earlier this week.
