Happy Heavenly Birthday to the King

 

Jack "King" Kirby's life and work is one great, big game of Secret Sun Scrabble and this presentation hits all the bases.  Kirby saw the cold new world that was coming more than most, and tried to warn us of manmade horrors beyond our worst imaginings, in the only way he knew how.





... and that's just the smallest sampling of the high weirdness and parapolitical insanity we'll be poring over on Sunday. You don't want to miss this one.


 

And don't forget The Spandex Files. 

What is The Spandex Files, you ask?
Click pages to enlarge

The Spandex Files is 280 action-packed (and lavishly illustrated) pages of information and edutainment, filled with the chills, spills and laughs you've come to expect from your pal here at The Secret Sun! 
The Spandex Files has a painstakingly-curated mix of out-of-print articles from classic comic fanzines, revised and expanded Secret Sun classics, and several never-before-published pieces as well!   
The Spandex Files is my final farewell to comic books and superheroes, both of which defined my life and career for so very long. 
There's a special emphasis on superhero and comic book-inspired movies, as well as several pieces on Alan Moore and - of course - Jack Kirby!
The Spandex Files is available in paperback and hardcover!

Also available in Canada, the UK, in GermanyFrance
Spain, in JapanAustralia and other major sellers as well!
