JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR #82
Strap in for the ride of your life, as JACK KIRBY Collector boldly goes where no Kirby publication has gone before! It's "The Many Worlds of JACK KIRBY," from exploring the depths of Sub-Atomica, to the cosmic expanse of outer space in Jack's strips. We'll visit Kirby's work from World War II, the Fourth World, and his hidden worlds of Subterranea, Wakanda, Olympia, Lemuria, Atlantis, the Microverse, and others! Then we'll travel across the pond for the 2021 WonderCon Kirby panel, featuring true Brits Jonathan Ross and Neil Gaiman, and moderated by Mark Evanier. Plus a gallery of Kirby pencil art from 2001, Machine Man, Devil Dinosaur, and more!
BLUBBER HC
Collecting the first five issues of Gilbert Hernandez's comic book series Blubber, an absurdly X-rated showcase for the most surreally transgressive of Hernandez's short stories. Weirdos (Blubberoo, Mr. Elvis, John Dick, the Mentor), creatures (the Mau Guag, Doogs, and Orlats...), and anthropomorphs (the Cloarks, the Kekeppy) visit places where most comics fear to go. Blubber veers between an absurdist satire of porn (and occasionally nature documentaries) as well as a defiant provocation to those unable to appreciate the difference between cartooning and obscenity. As R. Crumb said, "It's only lines on paper, folks!" It is also a howlingly funny book, filled with a rogues gallery of colorful comic book monsters (the Pollum, the Junipero Molestat, the mythical Forest Nimmy) and characters (T.A.C. Man, Mr. Hippy, Padre Puto, the Snowman, Baron Mungo, Red Tempest) that echoes the sheer visual imagination of JACK KIRBY.
