For more than 40 years he was the most vital and groundbreaking artist in the medium. There have been dozens of books on Kirby over the years, including several oversized Artist's Editions showcasing his original art. This book will present Kirby's art in a new and unprecedented way, as side-by-side examples of his work, both in PENCIL and INK! Three Key first issues are showcased: The Demon #1, Kamandi #1 and Omac #1, along with a number of additional pieces presented. This is a perfect way to see Kirby art in its rawest form, from photocopies made from the original pencils as each page was completed, then next to it, the finished inks. We would almost call this a textbook of comic art except it's too much fun! Review: Artisan masterpiece from Jack Kirby (and IDW Publishing) - Yet another excellent Artisan edition. I was really getting a little concerned that the Wally Wood artisan edition was going to be the first and the last artisan edition but I was mistaken and a new volume (and a few additional ones have been announced such as Rocketeer and Teenage Mutant etc) appears and what an excellent book with the pencils and also the inks for the same pages (should be half price) but no, it is some truly fine Kirby priceless artwork and the only thing missing being the scripts and the rough scribbles and notes (guess not everything can be saved). This is a hefty book with some really wonderful artwork throughout and a pleasure to read again and again Review: Nice volume. I am not a big fan of ... - Nice volume. I am not a big fan of Kirby, mostly because of ignorance but this may change with books like this. As the title says you have the pencils (on the left) and the inks (on the right) which gives a nice contrast. One thing that I do not understand is why this is a HC while the Wally Wood Artisan edition is SC. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 69 Reviews | ## Images ![Jack Kirby Pencils and Inks Artisan Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ADnkztd7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Artisan masterpiece from Jack Kirby (and IDW Publishing) *by A***E on 6 February 2017* Yet another excellent Artisan edition.

I am not a big fan of Kirby, mostly because of ignorance but this may change with books like this. As the title says you have the pencils (on the left) and the inks (on the right) which gives a nice contrast. One thing that I do not understand is why this is a HC while the Wally Wood Artisan edition is SC. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unexpectedly limited in scope *by G***F on 21 May 2018* I really should have read the blurb on this more carefully before buying it. I'd assumed it would be a collection of Kirby artwork from across his career, with his pencils alongside versions inked by a number of different inkers who worked with him over the years, like Joe Sinnott, Chich Stone, Dick Ayers, the much-maligned Vince Colletta and others. Instead, it turns out to be Kirby pencils alongside pages all of which are inked by just one artist, Mike Royer. Now, I've nothing against Mike Royer, who seems like a great guy and who inked Kirby's work more faithfully then any previous inker had. But there's the problem. I'd love to have seen a comparison of how different inkers approached working over Kirby's pencils, maybe with accompanying interviews and recollections. Being limited to one inker and one period in Kirby's decades long career limits the potential interest of the book. It's still an interesting book, and it's still full of Kirby artwork, which can only be a good thing. It's just not as interesting as it would have been had it been the book I'd expected it to be. Maybe IDW will step up to the plate and provide such a book before too long.
