Collecting The Past with TwoMorrowsRelated
The Main Event, Scoop, Friday, February 10, 2006
Beginning with The Jack Kirby Collector, TwoMorrows Publishing has developed and launched an impressive series of collector-inspired books and periodicals ranging from the definitive book on Captain Action to Murphy Anderson's biography. John Morrow, one of the two Morrows in TwoMorrows, let the inspiration he drew from the works of the writer-artist Jack Kirby lead to new ways to display the passion for collecting.
MODERN MASTERS: IN THE STUDIO WITH GEORGE PEREZ DVD (Aug 2005)
(excerpt)
Scoop: What have been some of your biggest successes?
JM: George Khoury's two books, Kimota! The Miracleman Companion and The Extraordinary Works of Alan Moore were both top sellers for us. Our "Companion" series continues to do well, as does our Modern Masters volumes, which spotlight the best artists working in the field today.Scoop: Have any of them surprised you? If so, which ones?
JM: I think the biggest surprise for me was our reissue of the 1971 Kirby Unleashed portfolio. We completely remastered it, rescanning almost every piece from the originals, and tracking down some unseen work to add to it. I expected a fair percentage of our usual loyal Kirby Collector readers to embrace it, but sales definitely exceeded what I expected. Also, our two DVDs to date (How To Draw Comics, From Script To Print and Modern Masters: In The Studio With George Pérez) have done well, so we'll definitely be doing more DVDs in the future.
