CAPTAIN VICTORY: GRAPHITE EDITION
Since the 1960s, legendary comic book artist JACK KIRBY (co-creator of the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor, Silver Surfer, New Gods, and others) photocopied his penciled pages before they were inked. Unfortunately, his outdated copier used a process similar to thermal faxes, so this pencil art archive is quickly fading away. But you can do your part to preserve the historical legacy of King Kirby! For the first time, his original
Captain Victory graphic novel is presented as it was created in 1975 (before being broken up and modified for the later Pacific Comics series), reproduced from Jack’s own copies of his uninked pencils! This first “new” Kirby comic in years features page after page of prime pencils, and includes Jack’s unused Captain Victory screenplay, unseen art, and more! Besides presenting this classic story in never-before-seen pencil form, all proceeds from this comic go toward the huge task of scanning and restoring the 4000+ page archive of Kirby’s pencil photocopies, before they’re gone forever! TwoMorrows Publishing and
The Jack Kirby Collector magazine are undertaking this enormous restoration project with the full cooperation of the Kirby family, so order your copy of
Captain Victory: Graphite Edition, and help ensure this material will be around for future generations to enjoy, appreciate, and learn from!
