And today is the LAST DAY of our MICHAEL EURY RETIREMENT SALE! 50% off Back Issue, RetroFan, and books!

Thirty years… wow.

30 years ago today (Sept. 5), I hand-mailed 125 free copies of JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR #1 to some of Jack’s most devoted fans. That day, I had no idea my little 16-page, hand-xeroxed/folded/stapled labor of love would evolve into TwoMorrows Publishing, and alter the course of my life.

Today, I’ll be taking my 30th anniversary issue (#91) to our mail house, to be sent to many of those same subscribers who’ve stuck with us for three decades. I’m humbled that they’ve trusted me (with the invaluable help of a legion of wonderful contributors) to document comic book history all these years, and allowed me to make a living doing what I so love.

Thank you, readers. And thank you, Jack Kirby. Everything we’ve accomplished at TwoMorrows is because of the true King of Comics.

John Morrow, publisher
