Page 12 from Fantastic Four Annual #4 from 1966, featuring ink art by Joe Sinnott and lettering by Sam Rosen, also part of the generous gift to the Kirby Museum from Richard Howell..
TheJack Kirby Museum and Research Center has announced today that Richard Howell has donated a significant number of pages of original art by Jack Kirby from the legendary Howell/Kalish collection to the Museum’s permanent collection. Howell is a comic book writer, artist, and editor; co-founder of Claypool Comics; a Kirby scholar; and a longtime collector of comic art.
The gift comprises more than 50 pages and is the largest donation of original Kirby artwork the Museum has received. It spans his industry-defining work at Marvel in the 1960s, including Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Thor, through his mid-1970s work for DC on 1st Issue Special, his return to Marvel on 2001: A Space Odyssey and Devil Dinosaur, as well as his animation concept art of the early 1980s for Hanna-Barbera. The gift also includes pencil art for an unpublished Kirby cover for What If? #10, featuring Jane Foster as Thor. Also included are two original stories from Kirby’s Boys’ Ranch series, published in 1950.
Selections from this donation will go on view in 2027 in an exhibition curated by the Museum (exact dates and exhibition theme will be announced at a later date). The works will also be available for viewing through the Museum’s online archive, now in development.
Additionally, the Kirby Museum has been named a beneficiary of a trust established by another longtime collector who wishes to remain anonymous at this time. Gifts of original art, whether made during a collector’s lifetime or through a will or trust, are how the Museum builds its permanent collection and keeps Kirby’s work available to researchers and the public.
Collectors and families considering a gift of artwork or a bequest can contact Rand Hoppe or (201) 204-0532. The Museum can provide its legal name, tax identification number, and sample bequest language for collectors and their advisors.

The Book Industry Charitable (Binc) Foundation is accepting applications for the Carla Gray Memorial Scholarship for Emerging Bookseller-Activistsfrom September 2-20, 2026. The winning bookseller will be awarded a year-long scholarship for professional development, which includes travel and hotel to attend Winter Institute 2027, travel and hotel to attend their 2027 regional fall tradeshow and a $2,000 stipend to fund a community outreach project. Eligibility requirements and the application can be found here.
In recognition of rising costs, the travel and hotel allowances have increased, and the project stipend has doubled from $1,000 to $2,000.
The goal of the community outreach project is to find new readers and ensure access to books that improve readers’ lives while integrating bookstores even more fully into their communities. Meet past winners and learn about their projects.
This year’s scholarship will be the eighth awarded by the Friends of Carla Gray Committee and the Binc Foundation. It is intended to help a bookseller with at least one, but fewer than 10 years of experience connect with other booksellers, publishers and authors, and establish the long-term relationships needed to keep the book industry thriving.

This bountiful bundle is overflowing with well over 100 issues of comics, totaling up to nearly 3,500 pages of thrilling tales. It’s a major opportunity to get all of these adventures for an unbeatable deal. Humble Bundle offers fans multiple tiers to customize their bundle the way they want, with different tiers priced accordingly. At just five dollars, readers can grab the Adventures of Red Sonja Omnibus, slightly breaking the mold of the miniseries premise to ensure an incredible find for customers at that level. That book alone is being offered for nearly 90% off and packs a whopping 650 pages of classic sword and sorcery action and adventure. The entire contents are available for just $18, with 93% savings on what would typically be a total cost of almost $250.
Other highlights of the bundle include one-off tales starring The Terminator, Vampirella, Red Sonja, Ash from Army of Darkness, Dejah Thoris, Jennifer Blood, and others. For fans of multiversal madness, four specials from Dynamite’s Altered States line of “what if” style stories are included, as well as epics from the steampunk mythos of Legenderry. On the limited series front, A Train Called Love by Garth Ennis and Mark Dos Santos is a standout, or John Carter: The End as an early work of superstar artist Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman, Batman: Dark Patterns), or a fun-filled crossover with Barbarella / Dejah Thoris written by Leah Williams.
Additional writers and artists with work in in this bundle include Alex Ross, Alex Segura, Andy Diggle, Dan Abnett, Dan Panosian, David Avallone, Frank Thorne, Fred Van Lente, Max Bemis, Nancy Collins, Paulina Ganucheau, Roy Thomas, Stephen Mooney, and many more.
A portion of the revenue from the bundle sales will be contributed to its charitable partner, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. This respected nonprofit organization tackles issues like book censorship, particularly related to comic art, graphic novels, and their creators. Comics often encounter scrutiny in libraries, schools, and other venues due to the medium’s often misunderstood and recently recognized status.
