Jack Kirby is one of the biggest names in comic books, his career dates back to the 1930's and he has worked for many companies, including Timely Comics, where he co-created Captain America, before they would later become Marvel Comics. During his career he would also work on DC Comics and in animation.
His work at Marvel is what he is most famous for and these are the works highlighted in the book. He created and worked on characters that are now household names, including The Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Black Panther and more. You'll find these characters throughout The Marvel Comics Covers of Jack Kirby Volume 1, as seen in a few page previews below.
The title of the book includes 'Volume 1' and it only covers 4 years of his work, an indication that more of these books are planned by Marvel and Dark Horse. This is no surprise given the large amount of comics he was a part of at the company.
Fans of Jack Kirby will want to snatch this up and seemingly anticipate having a collection of books with future releases planned. This is a great way of owning his artwork printed in high quality, especially as 60 years after they were sold, the original comics are not something you can simply pick off a shelf.
