I don't think I've mentioned it lately but I have a book coming out in February. It was supposed to be out this Christmas but doing it right (or as "right" as any book by me is likely to ever be) took a little longer than expected. Everything is presently on track for a February release.
The book is called Kirby: King of Comics. It is not (repeat: NOT) my long-awaited exhaustive biography of comic book legend Jack Kirby that will tell you what he had for lunch on the first Tuesday in August of 1953 — which, by the way, was a chicken salad sandwich on whole wheat toast with a side of macaroni salad and a cup of coffee, black. That book is still a few years off.
This book is a celebratory art book and bio of Jack that covers his entire career but not in microscopic detail. I tracked down the original art to many of my favorite Kirby covers and pages and we shot right off the originals and it's from the Harry N. Abrams company, so that should give you some idea of the quality and prestige of the whole thing. We always knew Jack deserved to be hailed as one of the great American illustrators of all time and now there's a volume that treats him as such.
I'll be talking more about the book here in the months to come. The only reason I'm mentioning it right now is to point you to this interview that Peter Sanderson did with me for Publishers Weekly. And if it motivates you to order the thing, here's a link by which you can do that.
