Dig This Upcoming Celebration of JACK KIRBY’s DC Legacy

Back Issue’s got a real corker in the works…

Over the last week or so, we’ve been giving you the straight dope on a number of groovy mags coming out this year from TwoMorrows. You can find the links below.

But we’ve saved the big one for last — Back Issue #131, which provides a deep dive into Jack Kirby’s DC legacy.

Dig the official description from TwoMorrows:

October 2021 – 84 FULL-COLOR pages

The Kirby Legacy at DC, exploring Jack Kirby’s post-Fourth World Bronze Age DC characters! Etrigan the Demon, Kamandi the Last Boy on Earth, OMAC: One Man Army, Sandman, and Kirby’s Odd Jobs (Atlas, Manhunter, and more). Plus: the Simon & Kirby Reunion That Wasn’t! Featuring Stephen Bissette, John Byrne, Gerry Conway, Dave Gibbons, Michael Golden, Alan Grant, Greg Rucka, Val Semeiks, Roy Thomas, Bruce Timm, Matt Wagner, and more. Demon cover by Kirby and Mike Royer. Edited by Michael Eury.

A few thoughts:

— Generally speaking, TwoMorrows’ Jack Kirby Collector is the realm of the King. But in addition to BI, Alter Ego also has a big Kirby issue coming up. (Click here for the details.)

Back Issue #131 runs $9.95 and is due Sept. 22, give or take a week or two. It will be available at comics shops and from magazine sellers but you can also order it directly through TwoMorrows. It’s already up for pre-order. (Click here.)
