RECOMMENDED READING: THE JACK KIRBY OMNIBUS VOLUMES ONE & TWO...

If you're a JACK KIRBY fan (and who isn't?), you're sure to enjoy these two handsome volumes in DC COMICS' OMNIBUS series, spanning Jack's DC career from the 1940s right up to his last comicbook work in the '80s.  It has to be conceded that some of  his later work wasn't quite in the same league as when he was firing on all cylinders, but anything by 'King' Kirby is always worth a look.

The first volume came out in 2011 and the second in 2013, but both editions should still be available in your local comicbook shop or most relatively decent bookstores with a graphic novels section.  I acquired them only yesterday, but I like them so much I thought I'd give all you faithful Criv-ites the heads-up so's you can add them to your own collections if you haven't yet done so.

BABE Of The DAY - PARIS HILTON...

Rich, young, beautiful, female - and

rich.  (Did I mention she's rich?)  PARIS

HILTON is quite a catch!  (She's rich you

know.)  I've always fancied spending a bit

of time in Paris, but I doubt she'd be up

 for it somehow.  Drat!  (Rich.)

RECOMMENDED READING: HOWARD The DUCK - The COMPLETE COLLECTION VOLUME TWO...

If you're a smart cookie, you rushed out and bought Volume One of HOWARD The DUCK: The COMPLETE COLLECTION when I recommended it to you all a little while back.  So it stands to reason you'll want to add Volume Two to that space beside it up on the bookshelf.  Then you'll have every issue of Howard's full-colour monthly comicbook from the mid-'70s, as well as all sorts of other bonuses.  But don't take my word for it - read the spiel on the back cover, then get 'round to the nearest comicbook store and buy yourself a copy as soon as you can.  You'll be glad you did!
