Plot
Jack Kirby is the King of Comics. For over fifty years, Kirby brought his magic touch to some of the greatest heroes and villains ever published! Jack's personal sketchbook is a diary that features 134 of these classic characters, each a full page pin-up. In 1987 those fabulous pencil drawings were published as JACK KIRBY'S HEROES AND VILLAINS. Now, over 125 artists collaborate with King Kirby to produce a new version of HEROES AND VILLAINS. Kirby's pencil art has been inked and painted by the modern masters of comic book art to produce a whole new masterwork. The BLACK MAGIC EDITION is the result of their efforts and affection.
