  • I'm glad they're continuing the John Byrne Man of Steel trades.  I've read about half of them from the library and have definitely considered buying the rest. 

    Otherwise, there aren't too many collections that I'd be interested in.  Although there are quite a few that I'd recommend as I've already read earlier trades (Superman: For Tomorrow) or have the single issues (JLA Showcase, New Teen Titans and Starman Omnibus). 

  • I'll almost surely get the Superman vs Shazam! book, even though I have the originals.

  • Several things on this list interest me (although it's way too early to start thinking about how much I'm going to put myself in debt next year!). At this point, I'll just mention the Jack Kirby Omnibus Vol. 2.

    A single-volume set of Kirby's challengers of the Unknown shipped yesterday, but I didn't pre-order it because I have the two Archive editions (which should have been one archive edition... but i digress). It would look nice in the same format as all those other Kirby and Simon & Kirby collections on my shelf, though. And I did buy the Kamandi collection even though I already own the two Kamandi archives (not to mention the originals). My rationale that time was that I'd keep the archives for "traders."

  • Hmm.

  • Challengers is a book, much like Green Arrow, that I just can't bring myself to buy the Jack Kirby collections of. (Pardon my abominable phrasing, it's late.) For some reason, I just haven't heard that Kirby's creativity has come through on these books the way it did on so many other of his creations. I'm happy to have his other stuff in very nice volumes with the similar spines as his better works. But I just haven't heard great stuff on his other work. Not that I've heard negative reviews; it's just that I haven't heard positive.

  • Looking at this list again, I am interested to know what Jack Kirby Omnibus is, considering the fact that there is no character's name after it. And it's volume 2, so I'm going to guess that vol. 1 is going to come out between now and then.

    Also, I'm looking forward to the Archie Goodwin Batman book. That's an impressive group of artists drawing his works, most of which I know I've never read.

    Legion Worlds? Yes! Goes perfectly with my Legion Lost HC. That was a great title. I remember a lot of big name talent on that book.

    And the Azzarello fan in me will probably order (from instocktrades, of course) Batman/Deathblow, Wonder Woman, and Superman: For Tomorrow. Eventually.

  • Apparently Jack Kirby Omnibus vol. 1 came out last year. Amazon has some reviews of it. The contents included Kirby's Green Arrow stories, stories he did for DC's sensation mystery titles in the 1950s, and stories from Real Fact Comics.

     

    The contents of vol. 2 as listed above are mostly misc. items did for DC in his tenure there during the 70s. The exception is Black Magic, a reprint anthology overseen by Joe Simon which included a number of stories he and Kirby did for Prize in the 50s. The statement that the volume collects Sandman #1-6 may be misleading - this was the comic with the Dream Dimension Sandman, but the way - as Kirby only did the covers for ##2-3 and I would guess the volume will not include their contents.

     

    There was also a further Kirby Sandman story (the cancelled seventh issue) which was printed in The Best of DC digest #22. I understand Kirby also did a couple of further stories with the "Dingbats of Danger Street" from 1st Issue Special #6, but I don't know if they still exist in their entireties.

  • I have seen this volume many times, but I always assumed it was only Green Arrow stuff. Thank you for the information!

  • There was a DC Comics Presents collection a few months ago which was a collection of some 50s-60s short Kirby tales.  They were all excellent, although I'm not sure how a larger collection of them would go down.

     

    The cover-story had the bizarre image of aliens doing some strange 'fishing' - trying to lure Americans onto their hooks with big wads of money.  A kind of satire of post-war materialism, I suppose, but inspired.

     

    You seem to be into the 'cosmic' 'wild ideas' stuff, Jeff, and that is more front and centre in the 70s stuff onwards.  I presume you've read all the 60s FF? Kamandi is also really good, although in a very different vein to the Fourth World.  I can't remember if you've read it or not.

  • Was Kirby writing and dialoging Kamandi as well as drawing it?
