Glad you enjoyed this one, Rob!
If we aren’t scanning pages ourselves, we ransack the internet looking for stuff so you don’t have to. So many fan sites, archives, museums, file sharing sites, blogs, etc. If we recall correctly, our reader and guest blogger Kandou Erik mentioned some golden age Kirby, including Race for the Moon, that he discovered in the Digital Comic Musuem. We might have had to find one of the issues elsewhere to complete the set. We will be sharing the complete series with you as well as some other golden age Kirby nuggets throughout the rest of the year, at least through the summer. Drop in again sometime!

Oh, I will. Much of the stories and art that are posted are like a walk down memory lane for me, but a lot of it I haven’t read before. Haven’t been disappointed yet! Post as much Kirby as you can. I never get tired of Kirby, Ditko, Starlin or may others. Keep up the good work!
