Cover art for Evanier's Kirby: King of Comics

Looks nice! This is the cover for comics historian Mark Evenier's upcoming looking at the life and groundbreaking art of Jack Kirby, co-creator of the X-Men, Hulk, Fantastic Four and many more.



Published by Abrams Books and due out Oct. 1, this book is a coffee table tome, heavy on the art, and should be gorgeous. Evanier's long-awaited big biography of Kirby will be out later.

Evanier was a friend of Kirby's and worked as the artist's assistant in the late 1960s and early 1970s before embarking on a screenwriting career. You can stay up to date on Evanier's Kirby bio and his other projects at his official site.

"Kirby: King of Comics" will be a 224-page hardcover with an original pull-out poster by Alex Ross (an artist that doesn't seem, to me, to have much to do with Kirby at all in terms of style or visual power, but he's popular, I guess).
