Kirby is Coming



Mark Evanier makes an interesting point about the forthcoming Fourth World Omnibus series from DC Comics, collecting Jack Kirby's interrelated comics for the company in the early 1970s -- his creations New Gods, The Forever People, Mister Miracle plus a bizarre run on Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen -- and a later graphic novel sequel: Jack Kirby really wanted to see this material in book form. His secondary point, more implied than overt, that DC should be able to make these books attractive given their recent track record for deluxe book packaging is well-taken, too.

The recent Hernandez Brothers books from Fantagraphics have reminded me that a great book design can be a wonderful thing now matter how fond you are of a comic book's original packaging, so I'm definitely interested in seeing how these turn out.
