The legendary team of Lee/Kirby are going to grace spinner racks again with Marvel Comics' plan to publish a "lost" issue of their "Fantastic Four" run. CBR caught up with Lisa Kirby and John Morrow to get further insight into this special event.

This is not a new issue.
In fact, this topic has been around for several years.
The first presentation of this was in the outstanding "Jack Kirby Collector" where John Morrow assembled the pieces of the rejected or re-edited pages with the inked/printed pannels from Jack Kirby's work that survived into FF #108. The result was a reasonable assembly of almost a total issue that Jack Kirby had delivered to Marvel when he resigned.

This assembly has not only appeard in TJKC, but most recently, in the additional materials that round out the tenth and final Kirby volume of the Fantastic Four Marvel Masterworks. I was pleasantly surprised to find the work again, and read through as much as has been re-constructed.

To learn that Stan Lee might script it, and Sinott will ink the rest of it, makes this a very interesting project... and IF the missing pannels that complete the story can be created and inserted seamlessly... this makes a fitting salute to Jack Kirby and one well worth the publicity and effort to put forth one more issue of the ORIGINAL Lee/Kirby FANTASTIC FOUR.

(Plus, wait until you see the subject matter and the speculation on the modivation behind the story and imagry that Jack came up with. Speculation of fans who believe Kirby was furious with Marvel or Stan Lee may find more to fuel their theories in this final story.)

Anyone who reads the Submariner/Magneto story in FF #103-104 will recognise what a fundamental shift occurred when Kirby left the book, and that makes the reconstruction of one last story all the more valuable and precious.
