RSS Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have an addiction. Beyond the comics, the horror and the Kirby, I mean. I have an unending appetite for hunting down and devouring issues of DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest, which reprint stories from the 1970s and 80s. It was these that cut my teeth on DC's massive bank of continuity and introduced a very young Desmond Reddick to characters and properties like Jonah Hex, Haunted Tank and The Demon.

Missy Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 This is great, Des. It really made me want to grab that omnibus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 This is great, Des. It really made me want to grab that omnibus. Thanks, I saw your post in the DCBS thread. I've done my part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 How does the re-coloring job in the omnibus look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Color me intrigued. I've seen Etrigan in a few animated Batman epsiodes, but that was about it up until this. How much does that omnibus cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 How does the re-coloring job in the omnibus look? Sharp but not too much you know? I find some "restorations" go too far in making the art look faked. This one is simply a restoration job. It looks like they bound the book in the 70s and published it that way. The only problem with these Kirby Omnibi is the page quality. It's essentially a little better than newsprint. Color me intrigued. I've seen Etrigan in a few animated Batman epsiodes, but that was about it up until this. How much does that omnibus cost? $25 at DCBS $32 at Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Des, I can't find The Demon Omnibus on the DCBS website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 If there's one problem with DCBS, it's that their search engine is about as intuitive as a brick covered it cat shit. And you can't link to items apparently... Under "Trade Paperbacks" select "DC" Then under publisher "DC Universe" and scroll down to get to J for Jack Kirby's Demon Omnibus HC. Pain in the ass.

Missy Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks! I searched for "Jack Kirby," "Jack," "Kirby" and "Demon," but it came up with nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Great stuff Des. I haven't read any of The Demon, but I love that cover to issue 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 As someone really familiar with his sci fi-ish Marvel stuff I'd like to hear what you think about The Demon, Koete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Well next month's order is looking pretty light. A nice Omnibus might make a good addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 DAMN. My interest is really piqued now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I know. Pages two and three respectively. One of my favorite pieces of Kirby art ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
