Sky Masters of The Space Force Libro 2

2011

En 1958, el llamado "Rey de los comics", Jack Kirby, responsable de la creación gráfica de, entre muchos otros, X-Men, Los Cuatro Fantásticos o Los Vengadores, desarrolló una tira diaria para la prensa americana que acabaría siendo una de sus mejores y más completas creaciones. Una obra desconocida por el gran público que ahora Glénat presenta en primicia mundial por primera vez recopilada en tres volúmenes de auténtico lujo.

Sky Masters of the Space Force. Las planchas dominicales a color

1959

En 2008 la desaparecida editorial Glénat presentó al lector español una de las obras más desconocidas de Jack Kirby y, al mismo tiempo, uno de sus trabajos más espectaculares. La combinación de los puntos fuertes de Kirby y Wally Wood, en un momento en que ambos estaban totalmente motivados y en la plenitud de sus carreras, llevaron el nivel del arte a cotas jamás vistas con anterioridad. La editorial Glénat llegó a publicar los dos libros que recopilaban las tiras diarias pero el tercero, que presentaba el culmen de la obra, las dominicales, jamás llegó a salir... hasta ahora! Este libro no solo contiene las 54 planchas dominicales existentes, sino que por primera vez se reeditan todas las viñetas perdidas. Además, contiene una amplia selección de guías de color pintadas por el propio Kirby, originales, artículos e infinidad de extras.

Wallace Allan Wood was an American comic book writer, artist and independent publisher, best known for his work in EC Comics and Mad. Although much of his early professional artwork is signed Wallace Wood, he became known as Wally Wood, a name he claimed to dislike. Within the comics community, he was also known as Woody, a name he sometimes used as a signature. He was the first inductee into the comic book's Jack Kirby Hall of Fame, in 1989, and was inducted into the subequent Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame three years later. In addition to Wood's hundreds of comic book pages, he illustrated for books and magazines while also working in a variety of other areas—advertising; packaging and product illustrations; gag cartoons; record album covers; posters; syndicated comic strips; and trading cards, including work on Topps' landmark Mars Attacks set. For much of his adult life, Wood suffered from chronic, unexplainable headaches. In the 1970s, following bouts with alcoholism, Wood suffered from kidney failure. A stroke in 1978 caused a loss of vision in one eye. Faced with declining health and career prospects, he committed suicide by gunshot three years later. Wood was married three times. His first marriage was to artist Tatjana Wood, who later did extensive work as a comic-book colorist. EC editor Harvey Kurtzman, who had worked closely with Wood during the 1950s, once commented, "Wally had a tension in him, an intensity that he locked away in an internal steam boiler. I think it ate away his insides, and the work really used him up. I think he delivered some of the finest work that was ever drawn, and I think it's to his credit that he put so much intensity into his work at great sacrifice to himself". EC publisher William Gaines once stated, "Wally may have been our most troubled artist... I'm not suggesting any connection, but he may have been our most brilliant".
