This man, this author
A nice honor came my way a couple of weeks ago, when Marvel Comics asked me to write an essay for the upcoming second Fantastic Four Omnibus collection. I get the plum job of penning my thoughts on FF #51’s story “This Man, This Monster”, one of my (and apparently everyone else’s) favorite Lee/Kirby stories. [...]

Pete Von Sholly Cartoon of the Week
The Von Sholly Bundle, containing Comic Book Nerd, his parody of the comics fan press (including the TwoMorrows line), plus both issues of his Crazy Hip Groovy Go-Go Way Out Monsters spoof of old monster mags, is available for those who like to laugh. But then, you knew that already.

Another new cover
Above is the final cover art for WRITE NOW! #16, shipping in July; you’ll see this listed on our home page shortly. This is different cover art than what’s printed in our catalog, because frankly, once we came across this amazing Silver Surfer painting by Mike Zeck and Phil Zimelman, and knowing that the issue’s [...]

Kirby Documentary Rises!
The long completed, but never released, documentary Jack Kirby: Storyteller is finally coming to DVD on June 5th! This hour-long look at the life and career of the King was hailed with cheers when we screened a short excerpt of it at the Kirby Tribute Panel at last year’s Comicon International: San Diego, and features [...]

Kirby Collages
I’m slowly slogging through production on the new issue of the Jack Kirby Collector (#48, out at the end of April), and am currently working on a great article by Robert L. Bryant, Jr. on the Making of Kirby’s Collages. Anyone who read Kirby’s 1965-72 work at DC and Marvel probably remembers these mind-blowing spectacles. [...]

New MEGO cover art
Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and action figures hit a (small) snag. Our upcoming book Mego 8″ Super-Heroes: World’s Greatest Toys! now has new cover art, shown above. For internal reasons, our friends up at DC Comics politely asked us to modify ours to remove the Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman action figures. [...]

Kirby Archives complete (almost!)
I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that we’re roughly 98% complete scanning the over 5000 pages of pencil xeroxes in the Kirby Archives! This has been a long, tedious task, as many of the images had faded pretty severely over time. We started it back in 2003, and by summer, we should have rounded up and [...]

The Kirby Collector begins!
I’m liable to be a bit slow posting to this forum over the next three weeks or so, as I’m in the midst of what I affectionately refer to as “Kirby Hell.” It’s that exhilarating, but demanding, and occasionally frustrating time every three months or so, when I try fruitlessly to put aside my day-to-day [...]

Post-Wondercon wrap-up
Been a busy week here at TwoMorrows, with non-stop deadlines, particularly in light of Chris Irving being gone to Wondercon for the last few days. The con went great, and thanks to our many loyal readers who stopped by our booth to chat and pick up the newest copies of ours stuff. We’d sold out [...]
