Included in this collection are interviews Kane conducted with a wide array of cartoonists: newspaper strip artists such as Hal Foster (Prince Valiant) and Walt Kelly (Pogo); fellow comic book creators such as Harvey Kurtzman; underground cartoonists Robert Crumb and Jack Jackson; and the literary critic Donald Phelps.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gary Groth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Softback","offer_id":35686407930017,"sku":"9781683960713","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/7339\/9944\/products\/9781683960713_300.jpg?v=1598471042"},{"product_id":"lost-marvels-no-4-gil-kane-rarities-vol-1-jungle-book-ka-zar-gullivar-and-other-rediscovered-work","title":"Lost Marvels No. 4: Gil Kane Rarities Vol. 1: Jungle Book, Ka-Zar, Gullivar and Other Rediscovered Work","description":"\u003ch5\u003eIn Fantagraphics’ latest Lost Marvels entry, we focus on obscure gems by one of the defining Silver Age artists — Gil Kane!\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lost Marvels series again delves into the misty margins of Marvel’s past to shine a light on extraordinary work that has never or rarely been collected for modern readers. This is the first volume of a compendium of some of the legendary Gil Kane’s finest storytelling. Freed from the conventions of super-hero battles, Kane’s art is a revelation here, capturing in flamboyant, imaginative detail the classic settings and characters of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book tales (made even more vibrant by the great P. Craig Russell’s inking); the origin of Ka-Zar from Astonishing Tales; and episodes of Gullivar Jones, Warrior of Mars, an adaptation by Kane and Roy Thomas of the seminal 1905 SF\/Fantasy novel. Plus, a genre-hopping gallery of 100 exciting covers by the artist who almost single-handedly defined the look of 1970s-era Marvel. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gil Kane","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":49265999347958,"sku":"9798875002045","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/7339\/9944\/files\/Lost_Marvels_No._4_Gil_Kane_Vol.1_3D.jpg?v=1770931237"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.fantagraphics.com\/collections\/gil-kane.oembed","provider":"Fantagraphics ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
