Kirby: Deities!
At the New York Comicon, we unveiled a limited edition portfolio, done in conjunction with the release of KIRBY FIVE-OH!.

The Rodney Dangerfield of comic cons…

New York Comicon wrap-up
Finally back from the Big Apple, where we had a really successful NY Comic Con; way better than last year’s con in terms of sales and attendance (probably partially due to our primo location right up front this year), and I had an absolutely fantastic time!
Because of the high costs of attending this con, we […]

England update
A great time was had by all at today’s “Live From Kirby Plaza” event in England. Chrissie Harper and Paul Gravett did an outstanding job putting together a fantastic tribute to Jack Kirby, and it was a blast to get to speak (via Skype) to the assembled crowd of Kirby fans in the UK. Also […]

Here’s the envelope art for a top secret item that’ll be available at this weekend’s New York Comicon! We produced it to celebrate Kirby Five-Oh! (the 50th issue of the Jack Kirby Collector, which debuts this weekend). All I’m going to say is that it’s a Limited Edition portfolio featuring FULL-COLOR Kirby plates, and leave […]

Batcave Companion update
A lot of people have asked me about the delay on our BATCAVE COMPANION book, and why it’s not in our new catalog: In a nutshell, DC Comics had previously approved the book for its original release date last July, but we chose to push it back till April 2008, to give our editors extra […]

A banner day in TwoMorrowland!
There are two Kirby items I’ve been searching for since 1994, when I first started the Jack Kirby Collector magazine (and, unknown to me at the time, the future TwoMorrows Publishing). One is Jack Kirby’s original pencil pages for the first Spider-Man story, before the job was handed off to Steve Ditko to finish for […]

Podcasting again!
The TwoMorrows Tune-In podcast has been on haitus for a while, as we looked for someone to take it on after the departure of Chris Irving from the company. I’m proud to announce that we’ve got another “Chris” who’s filling the spot admirably; Chris Marshall, who also hosts and produces his own weekly podcast, The […]
