About the Author
Jack "King" Kirby's comics career began in 1937 and continued for nearly six decades. After his fruitful collaboration with Joe Simon ended in the late 1950s, Kirby joined Marvel Comics, where the first issue of Fantastic Four cemented his reputation as comics' preeminent creator. A slew of famous titles followed that elevated Kirby to legendary status, including Incredible Hulk, Avengers and X-Men. Kirby returned to DC in 1971 with his classic "Fourth World Trilogy," which was followed by THE DEMON, KAMANDI and OMAC. Kirby continued working and innovating in comics until his death in 1994.

I have waited nearly forty years to finally see this strange bit of Kirby make it's collected appearance. And the wait was worth it. For those of you out there who have been collecting all the DC Kirby omnibuses, this new addition to the line will be a welcome one, especially due to it's extreme scarcity. This new DC Kirby entry runs at about roughly 110 pages, black and white, and is deluxe sized. The stories in this book are inspired by true supernatural experiences and Kirby's art style here is very reminiscent of his 1950s horror comics work. Mark Evanier serves up a fine introduction detailing the secret origins of what is perhaps Kirby's strangest project. For Jack Kirby fans everywhere, this book is a must have for your Kirby library. Enjoy.
P.S. This volume also includes the aborted second issue of Spirit World,of which these stories were to appear at a later date scattered among various 1970s era DC horror comics of the time. Also the paper quality in this volume is of a stronger and sturdier sort than found in the regular Kirby omnibuses. Again, enjoy.
