IDW Publishing has announced that it is set to release its very first Marvel Comics Artist’s Edition featuring work from the legendary Jack Kirby this coming May with Jack Kirby’s The Mighty Thor Artist’s Edition.
“I’ve had the great pleasure of working with one of the most creative men in comics—the great Jack Kirby, whose magnificent artwork and wonderful story sense have rightly earned him the nickname ‘King Kirby’,” said Stan Lee, “He had the ability to take any theme and make it look spectacular due to the power and the brilliance of his artwork. If ever a writer had the perfect collaborator, I was lucky to have had the brilliant and inimitable Jack Kirby.”
“Jack Kirby is still the visual heart of the Marvel style, so having an opportunity to experience his originals at the size they were drawn, corrections and all, is a rare and valuable opportunity for any aficionado of the comic book mediums,” adds Marvel SVP & Executive Editor Tom Brevoort.
Jack Kirby’s The Mighty Thor Artist’s Edition includes classic complete stories from Journey Into Mystery #111, #117, #118, and other stories, plus a beautiful gallery section by Kirby.
