Return of the King

In 1971, Jack Kirby made a kind of half-hearted effort to get into publishing his own work. He and his son Neal formed a company called Communicators Unlimited, with myself and my then-partner, Steve Sherman. Jack really didn't have the funds to be a publisher, the rest of us were woefully low on know-how, and others did their best to convince Jack it was a bad course for him…so Communicators Unlimited only issued a couple of folios and prints, plus one rather nice book. Copies of Kirby Unleashed now go for a nice piece of change in the rare occasion that you can find one. Fortunately, you don't have to go hunting. This December, TwoMorrows Publishing will bring out what I'm sure will be a lovely facsimile of this legendary biography/portfolio created in Jack's studio using his own files. Best of all, Steve and I will get the chance to correct some of the dumber typos we made. Sounds like a must-have to me.
