The Olsen book, thankfully, is in color.

Last week Moviepoopshoot.com had a Comics 101 on Jack Kirby's Fourth World. I remember buying these comics with pop bottles (comics went off the rails when they went off the 6 pop bottles return = 1 comic book standard). I'm pissed that the reprint books are in black and grey instead of the full colour they warrant. Plus over at emusic.com, there's Gregg Bendian's Interzone with his Jack Kirby fusion tribute.

Omigod, I'd forgotten all about this Jack Kirby DC stuff. (I was but a wee lad.) I remember coming across the Jimmy Olsen/New Gods stuff before I even knew who Kirby (or Marvel Comics) was. I thought, I want what this dude's smoking.

Thanks, Steve, you're always helpful about adding links that'll enhance a story (should've thought of this myself since I regularly stop at Evanier's place). Mark's also added some more insight into Kirby's work on Jimmy Olsen in a reply to my review.

Mark Evanier has a section of his website on Jack Kirby
