5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must' for any comic or graphic novel collection, July 18, 2009

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Jack Kirby continues to forge his name as comics' finest creator and this sixth paperback reprints issues 23-26 of THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR, a magazine covering his entire life and career. Having this in paperback places these issue's contents under one handy cover in black and white, including its rare interviews with Kirby himself, and is a 'must' for any comic or graphic novel collection; particularly those tracking the genre's history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Collection, November 20, 2008

By	Mark James Drummond - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Some issues of The Jack Kirby Collector have been guilty of having an excessively narrow focus, but thankfully none of the issues collected here suffer from that. This collection reprints #23-#26, covering Anything Goes,Greatest Battles,Simon & Kirby/Golden Age, and Gods. My favorite was the Golden Age issue,covering a period that(in my opinion)gets passed over far too often in favor of New Gods and 1960s Marvel articles. The most bizarre piece is a story from the never-published "Soul Love" in the Anything Goes issue that has to be seen to be believed. Worth owning, if you don't already have the original issues.
