Just finished reading this. Wow! Jack Kirby sure got screwed by the comics industry, mostly because he was all about taking care of his family. I can get behind that.
His heirs are suing Marvel for rights to the characters he created, and while I usually am not for this stuff (ie. they didn’t do the work, why should they get the benefit?) I figure, if Marvel is still making money off them, why can’t his heirs benefit, also?
It’s a good book, with many (large) illustrations. I recommend it highly

The Airtight Garage of Jenny Everywhere
New remake/remodel for Whitechapel–Jenny Everywhere.
Jenny Everywhere is a public domain comic character, who can be used by anybody for anything. She can travel dimensions, and make appearances in other comic continuums. Micheal Moorcock’s character Jerry Cornelius Was allowed to be used like thisfor a time, and was used by several SF authors, including Moebius (Jean Girard) in his series The Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius, until, for some reason, permission was taken away to do so, which led to great weirdness when Moebius’ work was republished. Be that as it may, here it is.
