Description

In 1957, following the dissolution of his partnership with Joe Simon, Jack Kirby returned to DC Comics. This book collects 44 Jack Kirby stories from the years 1957 to 1959. On forty of the stories, Kirby is inking himself (Joe Simon inks the first three stories and Frank Giacoia inks one story).

Most of the stories in this book have never been reprinted before.

A four-page introduction by Mark Evanier. Stories of the weird and fantastic from House Of Mystery; House Of Secrets; My Greatest Adventure; Real Fact Comics; and Tales Of The Unexpected. One story from All-Star Western. 66 pages of Green Arrow stories from Adventure Comics and World's Finest Comics.

This came from the library of Burny Mattinson (1935-2023), an animator, director, producer, and story artist for Walt Disney Animation Studios, from 1953 until his death in 2023. Mattinson directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and The Great Mouse Detective. He was named a Disney Legend in 2008 and was the longest serving employee of The Walt Disney Company, with a career that spanned almost 70 years. His extensive library included numerous subjects and especially large collections of books on Disney, animation, and classic comic strips.
