Jack Kirby; Dick and Dave Wood; Wallace Wood and Dick Ayers;
$49.99; ISBN 978-1-61345-211-0; softcover with flaps and endleaves;
color and black and white; 272 pages; 9 x 10 landscape; matte
coated stock paper; essays and documentary material. Jack Kirby’s
comic strip masterpiece is presented in an archival version
featuring the complete dailies from Sky Masters of the Space Force.
Veteran scripters Dick and Dave Wood provided these late-1950s
space/action adventure stories starring Sky Masters of the Space
Force and his gang of intrepid followers which closely resemble
Kirby’s work on Challengers of the Unknown (which was being
published at the same time). Kirby’s artwork is embellished by
Wallace Wood and later by Marvel inker extraordinaire Dick Ayers.
Sky Masters was created at the beginning of the space race — when
who would get into space and to the moon first —was a national
obsession. The strip takes place in the not to distant future where
the United States sends men into space but hasn’t ventured much
further yet. The series in clearly anchored in the late
1950s/early1960s so it serves as a highly stylized period piece
that still holds up very nicely. The material used in this second
edition of our reprint ranges from original art, to press proofs,
to tear sheets, and boasts the best reproduction of the strip ever.
