| I first met John Morrow, owner of TwoMorrows Publishing at the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Con last September. I have bought several issues over the years of John's flagship magazine
The Jack Kirby Collector and several of their hardcover books on the history of comic books. I was pleased to see on Amazon.com recently TwoMorows forthcoming book (August 2023) The Best Of
Simon & Kirby's Mainline Comics with reprinted and restored stories from
Police Trap, In Love, Bullseye, Foxhole from the early 1950s. John also told me about another book being worked on now about the pulp magazine artist Matt Fox. I like Fox's quirky style on pulps like
Weird Tales and some of Marvel's early 1960s science fiction stories. |
