Portland, Oregon 06/02/2025 – Writer Mario Freitas and artist Lucas Pereira pay tribute to Jack Kirby’s legacy with fictional tribute to upcoming cartoon icons, cartoon icons that dreamed of the impossible. This Treasury Edition One-Shot hit the shelves from Image Comics in August, and is a must-read for fans of pop culture history.
“This book is huge. It’s in format. In scope, ambitious. Just like Jack. But this is not a biography. It’s the classic “what if?” scenario: If Jack Kirby was well over the age of 76, if he survived his Roz, if he reunited with his old creative companions from the “House of Ideas” (which is spread very well by propaganda). “More than anything, it’s the result of the narrative to the great strengths of Kirby’s career: the complexity of relationships and the merciless pursuit of impossible hidden in the universe.
Jack King is the eldest son in a nursing home. An imaginative genius who has always told fascinating stories, but has been suffering from extreme fatigue and lack of motivation recently. Then comes a young microphone who helps restore Jack’s spirit and his beloved library.
Pereira added: “The text and visual exploration of what could have been – but what was really it? Kirby suffered a lot from him and his work in real life. This story is no different. Mike’s help, Jack King brings everything back to a rightful place.
The story is a salute to Jack Kirby, the man who cared for his work, and others who have suffered the same creative and editorial constraints throughout their careers.
The man who dreamed of Impossible (Lunar Code 0625Im270) is available on Comic Book Shops on Wednesday, August 27th.
Men who dreamed of being an Impossible can also be used on many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
