Ultimate Jack Kirby Sketchbook

In the early 1970s, Jack "King" Kirby (creator/co-creator of Captain America, the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Hulk, Silver Surfer, the New Gods and many others) turned an unassuming blank sketchbook into a spectacular, one- of-a-kind Valentine's Day gift for his wife by filling it with original pencil sketches of his most popular characters! This "black book" was published in 1987 in an extremely limited edition, but without the benefit of today's digital technology to capture all the nuances of Kirby's pencil mastery. Now, the Ultimate Jack Kirby Sketchbook presents those 135 pencil drawings and more, digitally re-mastered from the originals, showing all the detail that was missing from the previous printing two decades ago! Also included are more than 15 extra pencil drawings (many never-before-seen), including custom ones Jack drew in his personal bound volumes of Golden Age comics! With a full-color dust jacket and custom Kirby end leaves, this is truly the Ultimate Jack Kirby Sketchbook!Morrow, John is the author of 'Ultimate Jack Kirby Sketchbook', published 2006 under ISBN 9781893905634 and ISBN 1893905632.
