A sensitive masterpiece from Japan’s most
In Fantagraphics’ latest Lost Marvels entry, we focus
on obscure gems by one of the defining Silver Age
artists — Gil Kane!
The Lost Marvels series again delves into the misty margins of Marvel’s past to shine a light on extraordinary work that has never or
rarely been collected for modern readers. This is the first volume of
a compendium of some of the legendary Gil Kane’s finest storytelling. Freed from the conventions of super-hero battles, Kane’s art is
a revelation here, capturing in flamboyant, imaginative detail the
classic settings and characters of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book
tales (made even more vibrant by the great P. Craig Russell’s inking);
the origin of Ka-Zar from Astonishing Tales; and episodes of Gullivar
Jones, Warrior of Mars, an adaptation by Kane and Roy Thomas of the
seminal 1905 SF/Fantasy novel. Plus, a genre-hopping gallery of 100
exciting covers by the artist who almost single-handedly defined the
look of 1970s-era Marvel.
