A well-preserved copy of this early Kirby publication--over 55 years old (!)--and preserved in an original Communicators Unlimited manila mailing envelope decorated with an extra Kirby illustration!

"A collection of the artistry of Jack Kirby." One of the earliest Kirby tributes, this has a biography written by Kirby's assistants at the time--Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman--and a gallery of Kirby artwork from all eras of his 50-plus year career, including exquisitely detailed 1930s pencil work, unused comic strips, illustrated World War II letters, 1950s pages, unpublished 1960s Marvel pencil pages and sketches, and Fourth World pencil drawings (many done expressly for this portfolio in 1970). Out of print.

From the publisher's promotional flyer:

Assembled from the personal collection of the comic magazIne's most respected and prolific artist and creator, comes a handsome portfolio of the works of Jack Kirby. A pictorial chronicle of Kirby's career, traced from his earliest works to his present triumphs at DC.

Its large 11 x 14 provides maximum reproduction quality of a gallery of Kirby's art, much of it done expressly for this portfolio. Included are such classics as: Captain America. Boy Commandos, The Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor, Fighting American, Bullseye, The Newsboy Legion, Sky Masters and his latest, possibly greatest: The New Gods, The Forever People, and Mr. Miracle!

Featured also are Kirby's early and editorial cartoons: Blue Beetle, Abdul Jones, Lone Rider, Cyclone Burke, Socko the Seadog, The Blade Buccaneer...plus many strips never before published!

Also contained within this portfolio is a special pull-out section of art suitable for framing, much of it in Full Color!

Add to all of this a poster-size color cover by Jack, early photoqraphs, a section of war sketches and a couple of unpublished comic book covers, plus a lot of other surprises. and you can see why this collection of art is certain to be a collector's item in a short time.
