Lots of Kirby stuff in the most recently announced Marvel books. The
third silver age CAPTAIN AMERICA MASTERWORKS finishes up that Kirby run
on the character. The second BLACK PANTHER book finishes up another
Kirby run. I'm guessing this new MARVEL'S GREATEST COMICS line,
reprinting full books from scans of the original comics, is going to be
scattered comics tying in with current stories, not continuing on with
FF. Couple of western rerprints in back of new western stories,
including the third reprint of the origin of the Rawhide Kid in two
months. Plus GALACTIC BOUNTY HUNTERS debuts, with a Kirby cover.
News of such things can, as usual, always be found at:

Mighty Marvel is unfurling a new Masterworks crafted by an incomparable
trio of talents-Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Jim Steranko! It's the best
of '60s Marvel dynamism and design in one Captain America-packed

It's all set off by four-issue rumble with the Red Skull! When the
Nazi ne'er-do-well attachs an H- Bomb fuse to Cap, he has no choice
but to serve the Skull or America will suffer nuclear annihilation!

cure the Man Out of Time's woes over his lost companion, Bucky.

If all that calamity from "The King" Kirby wasn't enough, strap
on your psychedelic crash helmet for a course in Steranko! The master
of the medium will take you on a ride like none other with Cap vs. the
Hulk, the return of Bucky, and the death of Captain America in a battle
