King-Size Kirby

I think this book came out a few months ago but I just discovered it recently when trying to decide what I wanted to blow some money on. Now I don't live near a comic shop so I had no idea how large the "King-Size Kirby" was. Yes, I read the dimensions but my mind never really grasped how massive of a book it actually is. It is by far the largest book I've ever seen let alone owned. A lot of the material can be found in other collections but you'll probably never see Kirby's art presented in such an amazing way. Well worth it for you Kirby fans.

    Just put some colorful tights on and stand behind it, and I think you've also got your Halloween costume.
