Since TJKC is FOR Kirby collectors, we're doing a whole issue ABOUT collectors! In #88, we'll explore people's quest for and purchase of Jack's original artwork, and what it means to them to own not just of the art, but the Kirby comics themselves. Collectors share personal stories about meeting Jack and never-published photos from their encounters, choice fan-art and fan-fiction pertaining to Jack, and some of the coolest memorabilia and Kirby art you've ever laid eyes on! Plus an interview with Marv Wolfman about his (and friend Len Wein's) interactions with Jack first as fans, and then as pros. Plus: a gallery of Kirby pencil art, our regular columnists, and Mark Evanier moderating the 2023 Kirby Tribute Panel from WonderCon (with Marv Wolfman, Steve Leialoha, Paul S. Levine, and John Morrow). It features a deluxe wrap-around Kirby cover with fold-out back cover flap, inked by Mike Royer! Edited by John Morrow.
