Help TwoMorrows Publishing find a few images for our upcoming hardcover book JACK KIRBY’s DINGBAT LOVE! It collects Kirby’s final unpublished stories from his DC Comics projects Dingbats of Danger Street #2 and #3, True Divorce Cases, and Soul Love.

We’re still missing 3 pages of Jack Kirby’s “True Divorce/Soul Love” story titled “The Model”, and could use better copies/scans of a handful of other pages, to make this volume as beautiful as possible. Click here to download a small PDF file showing what we need, and please help spread the word! www.twomorrows.com/media/DingbatLoveArtNeeded.pdf

And get all the details, and pre-order the book, HERE!

The new edition of American Comic Book Chronicles: The 1980s was fully funded on Kickstarter in less than 12 hours! But you can still reserve a copy with a pledge (and get great discounts on other volumes).

Now let’s fund a reprint of the 1950s volume, which will be sold out before the campaign ends! Like with the 1980s book, you can also add other volumes to your initial pledge at a great discount!

And by popular demand, you can get the full 8-volume set (1940s-1990s) for only $250! This includes the new 1940-44 volume that ships this month, and next year’s 1945-49 edition!
