My feeling is that eventually everything ever drawn by the King of Comics, the late great Jack Kirby, will be reprinted. One of the major players that has stepped into the ring is good ol’ Titan Books, based in the UK, a company which has excelled in many gorgeous reprints, including their series of Simon & Kirby books. Simon & Kirby were the greatest creative team in America’s Golden Age of Comics, and this latest addition is in a gritty, realistic vein, a hardcover collection of their Golden Age crime stories, which have never been extensively reprinted before. It would be a crime to pass on this golden opportunity to own their classic crime stories. Buy it or forever kick yourself!

Praise for The Simon and Kirby Superheroes:

Product Description
Often featuring real-world criminals like Ma Barker, Al Capone, and Pretty Boy Floyd, and true-to-life events like the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, these adventures were torn from post-prohibition headlines. Explosive enough to draw the attention of the congressional committee on juvenile delinquency, they remain action-packed for today’s graphic novel audience.
These are the best of the Simon and Kirby Crime comics, fully restored and collected for the first time.
