Happy Birthday Jack

Carol and John’s Comic Book Shop is happy to be teaming up with the Rust Belt Monster Collective to raise money for the Kirby 4 Heroes Initiative on Thursday, August 28th! ​Jack Kirby is quite simply the King of Comic Books. There’s no other way to put it. His style is one of the first that you recognize in comics, and it has turned into the very definition of pop art.

Greetings from the road! Here’s some featured new releases coming out Wednesday, August 20th!

I imagine this as a more crafted Seven Soldiers of Victory that will break the fourth wall by the end. Here’s an interview with Grant from Wired magazine to help you make your decision.
