We just sold our final copy of Comic Book Artist Collection, Volume 3. Thanks to all our fans for giving it such a long, happy life!
If you haven’t checked out our current CLEARANCE SALE, give it a quick look. Many other items are close to selling out, so this may be your last shot at getting them (and they’re on sale to boot!). You can find the sale list HERE!

It may take a while between issues of Draw!, but once they’re here, they sure are purty! And well worth the wait.
Case in point: Check out the preview we just posted of Draw! #33, which ships in April, and features the amazing Bill Sienkiewicz!
Hard for me to believe that, today, we’re shipping issue #70 of The Jack Kirby Collector. Time’s blown by since I was standing at my local Eckerd Drugs store, hand-xeroxing 125 copies of the first issue of my humble little 16-page fanzine. We’ve come a long way from there, but based on the number of longtime customers and comments we have, I think the love and commitment of those early years is still going strong in TJKC.
#70 is the first half of a two-part theme: KIRBY: ALPHA (#70) on beginnings in Kirby’s work, and KIRBY: OMEGA (#71) on endings in the Kirbyverse. You can preview #70 HERE.
And I’m hard at work wrapping #71 to go to press by the end of this month, so we can keep these issues coming out on time. Great things are coming in Kirbyland for Jack’s 100th Birthday this summer, so stay tuned!
Many of these items are nearly sold out, so don’t delay!

Last weekend, artist Dan Spiegle passed away at the age of 96. You probably remember him from his run on Blackhawk, or DNAgents/Crossfire, or his westerns, or his wonderful Gold Key comics… the list goes on and on.
I’ll remember him from working together on John Coates’ book Dan Spiegle: A Life In Comic Art, which we published back in 2013. He’s the epitome of the type of artist that TwoMorrows strives to bring recognition to: Hardworking, supremely talented men and women who labored their whole lives to bring us exemplary comics art, giving far more to the work than was required to simply earn their paycheck. Dan cared about doing his best on every job, and it shows. I still regret that Dan never got a chance to unleash his talents on Jack Kirby’s Kamandi comic. (Jack had originally hoped to launch the series, then turn it over to another artist to draw from his plots/scripts, and Dan was high on the list Jack wanted to see draw it.)
Marie Spiegle, Dan’s widow, asks that in lieu of flowers, fans are encouraged to make a contribution in his name to the “Carpinteria Valley Historical Society” and mail it to them at 956 Maple Ave., Carpinteria, California 93013.
Our aforementioned Dan Spiegle: A Life In Comic Art book has been sold out for a while, and the few dinged-up copies we had left sold out last year almost as soon as they were made available. Ironically, we just discovered that Diamond still has a few stashed in their warehouses. If you never picked up this great look at Dan’s life and career, this is probably your last shot. Either order it directly from TwoMorrows at THIS LINK, or ask your local comics shop to get it from Diamond using Diamond Order Code MAR131309.
(As per TwoMorrows policy, Dan’s wife Marie will continue to receive profits from any copies sold, in print or digital format.)
The new Diamond Previews catalog accidentally ran the incorrect cover art for Comic Book Creator #15, so we’re cancelling that listing to avoid confusion. CBC #15, the MARK SCHULTZ issue, will be relisted in next month’s Previews catalog, or you can pre-order it directly from TwoMorrows HERE!
