...and a new grail is added to the list! Sometimes this free message board is seriously expensive. Oh well, it's probably more affordable than Jumbo #1.

Fuelman,

 

 

I did not know about the book either and it is not listed in the Jack Kirby Checklist put out by Twomorrows either (but probably because it's not considered comic book work). Congrats on a cool find.

 

Sure it is, on page 101 under the Periodicals section:

 

Romance of Money, The 1937: (booklet of newspaper comic strip samples published as bank giveaway) Kirby - a (ghosted for: H.T. Elmo) (Lincoln Newspaper Features) (See CJK 1, CSJK)

 

I only have the Gold edition of the checklist handy at work, maybe they left it out of the earlier versions?

 

It was reprinted in Comic Strip Jack Kirby by Pure Imagination (Greg Theakston, who's a forumite) and Complete Jack Kirby V1 by Pure Imagination.

That's exactly the case. Mine is the 1998 Final Edition and it leaves this book out. (thumbs u Glad to see it made the update.
