Best Of Simon And Kirby HC

Description

"This stunning collection of complete comic book stories from the legendary team of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, presenting hand-selected adventures from every genre in which they made their mark! From the very beginning in the late 1930s, Simon and Kirby produced the finest stories around, creating dramatic new super heroes (Captain America, Blue Bolt, Fighting American, The Fly), western action (Boy's Ranch), gruesome horror (Black Magic), explosive detective fiction (Justice Traps the Guilty), and the very first romance comics (Young Romance). This is the only edition authorized by both Joe Simon and the estate of Jack Kirby, and each story is hand-picked by Joe Simon himself!

Also includes illustrated essays by Mark Evanier (Kirby: The King Of Comics); two stories from the team's Marvel period, Captain America in ""The Riddle of the Red Skull"" and a tale of The Vision from Marvel Mystery Comics; and two of the team's DC Comics stories, including Sandman in ""The Villain from Valhalla"" (the first time the god Thor appeared in a comic) and the Boy Commandos in ""Satan Wears a Swastika."""
