New To The Works Of Jack Kirby? Then Take A Look At 'The Jack Kirby Collector'! Yesterday I blogged about seeing Joe Ruby and Ken Spears at the July 2008 SDCC - San Diego Comic Con International. I was blogging about Jack's years at Ruby-Spears Productions where he came up with many concepts, several of which made it to animated shows being aired on TV. The responses and emails about the blog post ran from "Thanks for blogging about Jack", to "I didn't know that about Kirby", to "How do you find out more about what Kirby?". One of the great publications that is still being published is the 'Jack Kirby Collector', published by TwoMorrows Publishing. I was an early subscriber to this magazine, and added those issues to my own personal Kirby Collection. For those of you that want to know more about Jack Kirby, and can't attend the Annual Jack Kirby Tribute at the SD Comic Con, this publication is a great way of reading about the different periods in Jack's life. The publisher has the latest issues in stock at their web site. For those that just want to read the OOP, (Out of Print), issues of the magazine, (not collect), The earliest issues have been compiled into 'The Collected Jack Kirby Collector' TPB format. The earliest issues are OOP and have to be purchased on the resale market. If you cannot find them at your regular shop, my wife and I have several copies of these in our online store. There should not be any reason to miss any previously published issue, either in original format or collected (reprinted) format, thanks to the publisher's efforts to keep them in print! ~ Michael | Above is one of the Jack Kirby Collector magazines that we have listed in our eBay Featured Store! This series has my recommendation for those that either want to know more about Jack (King) Kirby or just love to look at his artwork! For our current Jack Kirby listings, including THE JACK KIRBY QUARTERLY, THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR, and miscellaneous collectible Kirby items, just click on the cover ABOVE!

Jack Kirby Worked For... Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, Of Ruby-Spears Productions As Explained At The 2008 SDCC Comic Con International! I had the pleasure of seeing Joe Ruby and Ken Spears at the last San Diego Comic Con International They were both in two of Mark Evanier's programs that he conducted at the Con. One program was spotlighting their achievements and history in the animation field. The other program was their attendance at the Annual Jack Kirby Tribute. As explained at both programs... During the years of 1978 - 87, Jack Kirby worked for the Ruby-Spears Productions by coming up with concepts. Several of these were shown on TV. Those included: Thundarr The Barbarian 1980-82 on ABC Mr. T (yes, THAT Mr. T!) 1983-86 on ABC Turbo Teen 1984-85 on ABC Centurion, syndicated show with 64 episodes Rambo, syndicated show in 1986 Sectaurs, syndicated show in 1985 Chuck Norris' Karate Kommandos, syndicated show in 1986 Lazer Tag Academy, 1986-87 on NBC There were others concepts and ideas that did not make it to the small screen. BTW, Jack also worked on DePatie- Freling's The New Fantastic Four cartoon shown on NBC from 1978-79 with 12 episodes. He also worked on the All-New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show that ran from 1983-84. This part of Jack Kirby's life is not well known by many. With Jack's long history in comics, there are many fans of the different periods that he worked in. I for one am a fan of his MoNSter work at 'Marvel Comics', and of course the Fantastic Four, my favorite of his works. Others came in the early 1970's when Jack was working for DC Comics and created his Fourth World series of New Gods, Mister Miracle and The Forever People. Others came in when Jack came back to Marvel in 1975 and worked on the Black Panther series, Captain America, etc. However a lot of readers are not aware of his work in the animation field in the late 1970's in the mid 1980's. Funny thing is... Jack started as an 'in-betweener' for the Fleischer Studios that produced the early Popeye Cartoons in the mid 1930's! Thanks for reading this blog post, and join us again for more! ~ Michael |
