GIANT-SIZE KUNG FU BIBLE STORIES includes seven awe-inspiring, pulse-pounding stories from Erik Larsen, Bruce Timm, Adam Warren (Empowered), Tom Scioli (GØDLAND), Ryan Ottley (INVINCIBLE), and Andy Kuhn (FIREBREATHER), and four breathtaking pinups by Arthur Adams (Uncanny X-Men).
“The old reprint collection Treasuries were great, but the books that really inspired Erik and me were the ones that were specifically created with the over-size format in mind, things like the Kubert / Redondo BIBLE STORIES, the various Marvel / DC crossover epics and Kirby’s amazing 2001 adaptation,” added Timm. “The artists realised these aren’t just regular old comics blown up, but instead really took advantage of the massive scale. SUPERMAN VS. MUHAMMAD ALI is ‘merely’ a typically great Neal Adams comic when printed in the standard-sized comics format, but at ‘Treasury Size’ it’s a thing of pure gob-smacking awe. So that was what we were trying to do—a collection of stories that NEED to be seen in the Treasury format. It’s just a really fun sandbox to horse around in.”
GIANT-SIZE KUNG FU BIBLE STORIES will be available for $20 with Diamond Code MAY148229. The final order cutoff deadline for retailers is 8/11.
