On Jack Kirby’s Bizarre 2001: A Space Odyssey Adaptation and Continuation

.

After Julian finished posting it online, he became even more ambitious and decided that, with a bit of work, these pieces could be added to and turned into a short book. In order to do this, first he went back and expanded and polished the existing articles. Then he wrote about 12,000 more words, analyzing the remaining six issues he didn’t cover online. In all, the 90-page finished product, The Weirdest Sci-Fi Comic Ever Made: Understanding Jack Kirby’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, is twice as long as Julian’s original online series of articles.

So if you’re a fan of Jack Kirby, wacky sci-fi comics, 2001: A Space Odyssey, or (better yet) all of the above, you will really enjoy this book (and it most likely will make you want to search out the truly baffling comics themselves). The book is available from Amazon in both a print version ($7.99) and for the Kindle ($3.99).
