You’ll have Jason Blood on your hands… Remarkably, Jack Kirby has only gotten a couple of Absolute Editions from DC over the years, both centering on the Fourth World. That’s set to change in the late summer of 2026 with the anticipated publication of The Demon by Jack Kirby: Absolute Edition. Dig the info, tucked into DC’s latest solicitations: THE DEMON BY JACK KIRBY: ABSOLUTE EDITION Written by JACK KIRBY Art and cover by JACK KIRBY Part man, part elemental fury, Etrigan the Demon was bound to Jason Blood by Merlin to defend Camelot! Now a demonologist in the streets of 1970s Gotham, he must face a barrage of gothic terror—Morgaine le Fey, Klarion the Witch Boy, and more! Collecting The Demon #1-16, featuring nearly 200 pages of original pencils and inks, as presented by the Kirby Museum with brand-new essays by the creators that carried forward the legacy of Etrigan, a brand-new foreword by horror legend Stephen Bissette, and more! $125.00 US | 632 pages | 8 1/8″ x 12 1/4″ | Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1-79950-902-8 ON SALE 9/1/26 — A few thoughts: — The cover art is labeled NOT FINAL, so it’s subject to change. Doesn’t mean it will, though. — Absolute Editions pretty much focus on modern comics, going back only as far as the Bronze Age. I guess that means the only other Absolute left to do would be Kamandi, though Super Powers would be a lot of fun. I don’t think there’s enough material there, though. — This is the second month in a row DC has popped an unexpected Bronze Age Absolute Edition into the solicitations. Last month, it was Neal Adams’ Batman. — MORE — BATMAN BY NEAL ADAMS: ABSOLUTE EDITION Coming Summer 2026. Click here. — DC COMICS to Publish FIVE Facsimile Editions in March. Click...
MORRISON MONDAYS meets TOYHEM — one more time! By BILL MORRISON There used to be a website named Superdickery.com, on which they showed mostly Silver Age DC covers that featured Superman and other heroes being jerks. They were what I like to call “fake-out covers,” designed to get kids to frantically plunk down their allowance money so they could find out how their favorite hero could possibly be behaving so badly, only to discover within the story that there was a reasonable and very necessary explanation. In that spirit, I drew this Carmine Infantino/Murphy Anderson-inspired fantasy image, portraying a clueless Batman insulting Batgirl by gifting her with a toy utility belt. If there were a story attached to this image, the Ideal Utility Belt would probably contain exactly the plastic implement Batgirl would need to get her out of a death trap. How Batman could possibly know Batgirl’s future and exactly what she would need to save her life is my secret. If DC wants that story, they’ll have to pay me! I didn’t intend for this drawing to be a fantasy cover when I drew it several years ago for an art show at a wonderful store in Los Angeles called “Big Kid Collectibles.” It was just a pin-up. But I came across a scan of the art on one of my hard drives and decided it would be fun to color it. When I showed it to Dan Greenfield, he suggested we give it to fellow 13th Dimension regular Walt Grogan to not only color it, but also give it his vintage printed/well-read treatment, and turn it into a cover for the annual TOYHEM celebration: So, in the spirit of the season, we hope you enjoy this cover, and also hope you get everything you wish for, and nothing that you don’t. And may we all enjoy the peace and joy that the holidays represent. — Want more MORRISON MONDAYS? Come back next week! Want a commission? See below! Want more TOYHEM?
