Here’s one of the first rave reviews of a great new book that I had the privilege to work on behind the scenes recently-Greg Theakston’s Jack Kirby biography-Part one, Jack Magic!

Also at 20th Century Danny Boy, we have Jim Steranko and Mark Evanier going up against Jeff Rovin’s testimony in the Superman lawsuit.

Here’s the 1981 Spirit Jam in which Will Eisner finally agreed to let others do their version of the Spirit…only all at once! Also included-Cerebus and the Spirit!

Finally, here’s a well-done, well-illustrated article/obit on Louise Altson, a wonderful artist who sometimes worked at Timely back in the forties.

Sad to see you promoting the Theakston book on Kirby. As Kirby’s widow put it “He stole half of Jack’s files and he still doesn’t get it accurate”. I will not purchase it for both reasons.
