Jack Kirby, YOU ARE A DELIGHT.

Yep. The recently-released Jack Kirby Fourth World Omnibus Vol. 1 is so tasty that I had to bust out my James Lipton impersonation for the title.

How awesome is this book? I am just about halfway through it, and already, I have seen:

–A giant Jimmy Olsen who’s green and looks kinda like The Hulk with freckles.
–A group of weird kids, patterned after the hippies of the late sixties, known instead as the Hairies.
–The old, bearded Mister Miracle, who I did not even know existed.
–More cosmic Kirby bubbles than I can shake a stick at.

Seriously. This is great stuff, people. The energy in one panel of Kirby’s artwork blows away anything being done by any other artist at any other time in the entire history of the medium.

Wow, Jack Kirby’s COOL. News to me!
