TwoMorrows is publishing a book about the greatest inker ever, Joe Sinnott.
I’ve bought a ton of TwoMorrows books over the years, and I’ve never been disappointed. John Morrow and his crew do a fantastic job of covering the history of comics and the lives of the people who make them. John has a special love for Jack “King” Kirby, and Kirby’s best inker (in my opinion) was Joe Sinnott. Sinnott added tremendous polish and pizazz, and humanized the Fantastic Four.
Not only are we getting this book, but we’re finally getting a beautiful reproduction of the best comics in the FF Kirby/Sinnott run. For years, the only color reproduction available was in the FF Masterworks line. Unfortunately, the books that covered the best of their run (issues 41-60) were not very good. The line reproduction was poor, a result of a Masterworks program in flux. Now, to celebrate the release of the second FF movie, Marvel’s releasing the second Fantastic Four Omnibus. We’ve been promised better reproduction. And, it turns out, some of that reproduction is available in the recently released Essential FF Volume 3. If you can’t afford the $100 price tag on the Omnibus, plunk down $12 at Amazon and see the work in brilliant black and white.
