More than forty of Jack Kirby's lost stories: The first origin of Dr Doom The lost Hulk #4 Who really defeated Galactus? The original Black Widow Ragnarok The first origin of Iron Man Xavier before Cyclops and many more. Jack Kirby wrote over 2000 comic books. But many of his stories ended up in the trash. Why did they end up in the trash? Because Jack's editor thought his stories were too difficult for young readers. So Kirby had to redraw some pages, and his editor changed the wording on the rest. But clues to the original stories survive. This book follows those clues, and tries to recover the lost Jack Kirby stories. Bonus chapters include: How Kirby's stories all fit together How to spot a Jack Kirby story Chris Tolworthy runs the world's biggest Fantastic Four fan site, "The Great American Novel". Many site visitors asked for the best parts of the site to be made into a book, so here it is, plus a ton of new content. Special thanks to James "Nathan Summers", who runs the "How Would You Fix" blog, and many other comic scholars who made the book possible.
