A couple of big things from in February. TwoMorrows has a new KIRBY
COLLECTOR (#44 should be out soon). Marvel gives SGT. FURY a
hardcover, running all the way to #13, so it has all of Kirby's full
stories for the series. Should be worth a look. Also, the MARVEL
ROMANCE TPB should be about one third Kirby, the first time any of
those have seen print in a long while (there's also a comic coming out
where they re-script some old romance stories, including a Kirby one,
but the less said about that the better). The recent MARVEL MONSTERS
one shots get an oversized hardcover for some reason, including the
reprint backups by Kirby. And in the trivial, ESSENTIAL MOON KNIGHT
will have one cover by Kirby. DC's SHOWCASE PRESENTS HOUSE OF MYSTERY
volume should have one Kirby reprint, "The Negative Man" (originally
from #84, as reprinted in #194).
