Re-introducing this Eisner Award-nominated hardcover in a LARGER DELUXE EDITION! This eye-popping book compiles the scarce and out-of-print complete set of Sky Masters of the Space Force Sunday comics from 1959-1960 by Jack Kirby with masterful inking by Wallace Wood, Dick Ayers, and Kirby himself.
Every strip has undergone meticulous remastering back to its vibrant, full-color brilliance thanks to the work of designer/producer Ferran Delgado. But that’s not all – discover an array of never-before-seen visionary scrapbook panels, articles by renowned experts, and examples of stunning original art, among other surprises added by the Jack Kirby Museum Research Center for this special brand-new edition.
This book marks a historic first publication by Kirby Museum Press and is the first official crowdfunding campaign for a Jack Kirby book. Take advantage of this special event!
The Sky Masters of the Space Force crowdfunding campaign on Zoop has already garnered over $40,000, exceeding its goal, and that number is only growing larger. With over 546 supporters at the time of this writing, clearly, fans want more of Kirby’s work. Well, good news everyone! The Kirby Museum Press is more than willing to ensure that his work is immortalized for current and future fans of this industry legend.
Copycat
Creators: Cullen Brunn (Writer), Heath Amodio (Artist), and Todd Garner
Goal: $5,000
End Date: February 2, 2024
Goodies: A digital and/or physical copy of the novel and signed editions
NYT Bestselling writer Cullen Bunn and partner Heath Amodio team with Mortal Kombat producer Todd Garner for this action-packed, cerebral thriller!
Sarah is an ER nurse with the unique power to diagnose her patients with just one touch. Unfortunately, her power comes at a painful cost, as she suffers the same agony as those she cares for.
Copycat, at this time, has over 60 supporters and has raised over $3,000 on its campaign trail. With amazing artwork and an interesting story, it’s not hard to see why people want to back this campaign, especially considering Bunn has worked on popular projects like Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. The comic is made for fans of Atomic Blonde and John Wick, as Zoop puts it, which leaves us at The Beat even more interested in its launch.
