Upcoming goodies from TwoMorrows Publishing



SILVER STAR: GRAPHITE EDITION

Legendary artist Jack Kirby first conceptualized Silver Star in the
mid-1970s as a movie screenplay, complete with illustrations to sell
the idea to Hollywood. Too far ahead of its time for Tinseltown, Jack
instead adapted his “Visual Novel” as a six- issue mini-series for
Pacific Comics in the early 1980s, making it the last original creation
of his career. Now, in SILVER STAR: GRAPHITE EDITION, “King” Kirby’s
final, great series is collected at last, this time reproduced from his
powerful, uninked pencil art! Read the complete story of
Homo-Geneticus, the New Breed of humanity that spawns both hero (Silver Star) and
villain (the nefarious Darius Drumm), leading to one of the most
action-packed narratives and spellbinding climaxes ever conceived on a comics
page! And as a special bonus, read Kirby’s provocative screenplay,
reproduced in its entirety, including illustrations and never-published
character sketches! Plus there’s pin-ups and other rare Kirby art, and
an historical overview to put it all in perspective. A percentage of
profits from this book go to the Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center,
so don’t ask, just buy it!

The 160 page (plus cover), squarebound 7" x 10" Trade Paperback with a
full color cover and black-and-white interiors retails for $19.95 in
the U.S. and ships 22 March 2006.
