3.0 out of 5 stars
decent kirby book, just wished the book's paper was of better quality...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collected Jack Kirby Collector, Volume One (Paperback)
Just got my copy of the kirby collector today....and i must say it's....well good i guess. If you love Kirby then there's lots of reading material here. Tons of Q&A with colleaques etc. For me that's just the problem...i just wish there was more to look at..i mean..this guy is an illustrator/artist after all, and i bought the book to look at his work, not to read about it. Also the paper quality plain sucks as the pencilled art doesn't look good at all, poor paper=poor reproductions. The inked works look decent though.
Don't get me wrong it's a decent book for the hardcore Kirby fan but i was looking for more of Kirby's work in this. i bought the wrong book.....i'll look elsewhere for a better retrospective on this great artist.

Reprinted for 2004!,
By Babytoxie (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collected Jack Kirby Collector, Volume One (Paperback)
Volume 1 of TwoMorrows Publishing's "The Collected Jack Kirby Collector" is finally back in print! 240 b&w pages of everything Kirby. This volume collects issues 1 - 9, with 3 more volumes on the way. You get every page and cover from every issue. Highlights include uninked pages from various comics; interviews with Kirby, Simon, Royer, Evanier, and Steranko, to name a few; and loads of unpublished Kirby art - either personal works, commissions, drafts, or others. Obviously, this book is meant for people that live and breathe Kirby, but even someone with a casual interest will gain something from this book. It contains lots of historical information and little-known facts. Pick this up and revel in the greatness that is Jack Kirby. Long live the King!

King Kirby!,
By Tom Stewart (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collected Jack Kirby Collector, Volume One (Paperback)
John Morrow is a man who loves Kirby. He started the Jack Kirby Collector as a tribute to the man and his work, over ten years later it is still going strong, exploring the career of Jack Kirby.
This book collects the first few, long-out-of-print issues of TJKC, plus new features and never before seen art. Interviews with friends and co-workers, rare art, articles on Kirby's best work (and some real obscure stuff too!). Like Jack said, "Don't ask, just buy it!"
