Inhaltsangabe

The Simon and Kirby Library: Science Fiction spans more than 20 years, beginning with the first stories Joe Simon and Jack Kirby ever produced together (beginning in June 1940)--their ten-issue run of Blue Bolt adventures. Then the Cold War years will be represented by Race For the Moon, featuring pencils by Kirby and inked artwork by comic book legends Reed Crandall, Angelo Torres, and Al Williamson.

"Joe was one of the industry's greatest innovators--he commissioned stories from some of the greatest talents of the time," series editor Steve Saffel notes. "Thanks to his efforts, we have exclusive access to more than 80 pages of original artwork from the 1950s. Stories by all four artists appear in all of their stunning detail. This was a book Joe wanted the world to see."

Other rarities from both decades are included, and as a bonus for readers, the volume features stories illustrated by Crandall, Torres, and Williamson--without Kirby.

Including an introduction by Dave Gibbons, the award-winning co-creator and illustrator of Watchmen, this is an historic volume no comic book aficionado will be able to live without.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

A huge cache of untouched stories by the legendary creative team, collaborating with some of the most famous illustrators in comics! Simon and Kirby's science fiction stories are an unimaginable treasure trove that have remained largely uncollected - until now! Their first collaboration, Blue Bolt, was first published in 1940 and changed the way comics were produced. They returned to science fiction in the 1950s, producing Sputnik-era adventures in collaboration with other legendary creators: Al Williamson, Angelo Torres, Reed Crandall, and Wally Wood. This volume features all-new digital restorations of over 300 pages of comic strip. This volume resents for the first time in 70 years the first Blue Bolt story by Joe Simon and includes an all new introduction by writer and artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen).
