THE CURSED LIBRARY (#3 of 3): UNBOUND
This is it! The final chapter of the Cursed Library is here. Will Jinx assume her rightful role on Satan’s throne? Can the unlikely duo of Danni and Madam Satan save her? It’s going to take a hell of a lot to set

The first issue of The Defenders I every bought was Giant-Size #1 in 1974; the second issue I bought was (probably) #106 (1982), which was a crossover with Captain America. When Trish Starr appeared in Hulk #233 (1979) and I had no idea who she was,

The story behind Captain Victory and the Galactic Rangers is almost as convoluted as that of Jack Kirby's Hunger Dogs graphic novel. It started out as a screenplay by Jack Kirby and Steve Sherman; when that didn't pan out, it was repurposed as a 17-p

If you were a fan of Jack Kirby's "Fourth World" titles and then read his "epic conclusion," The Hunger Dogs, chances are you were disappointed. That's largely because DC Comics, in their infinite wisdom, decided to purposefully present the pages wil

When Jack Kirby returned to Marvel in 1975, his Captain America was not universally well-received. I personally have always felt that some of his stories were better than others, but it never occured to me to rank them... until today. Here, then, are

In 1976, Marvel entered into an agreement with MGM to produce an adaptation of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in "Treasury Edition" format. An original ongoing series sprung from that, and Jack Kirby wrote and drew both the adaptation and th
