The new issue of The Jack Kirby Collector, #58, is a special one devoted to a long essay (more like a book) subtitled Lee & Kirby: The Wonder Years. It was the work of a gentleman named Mark Alexander who passed away last year at the age of 56, having just completed the manuscript for this look at the history of the Fantastic Four comic book as done by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Given the obvious effort that he put into it and the fact that it was Mark's last work, I would love to be able to recommend it strongly. To Mark's credit, his research did unearth a lot of previously-unpublished history…but there are quite a few places where I disagree with his conclusions and even more where I disagree with his factual recital. I even disagree with a number of places where he quoted me. He says in it my "information contributed enormously to this book" but he doesn't seem to have understood a lot of what I told him.
I am not suggesting you not buy it. A lot of Mark's opinions about the work of Lee and Kirby are interesting and thought-provoking if not perceptive. Just don't believe all the history, especially the nuggets attributed to me.
