Pure Imagination (comics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pure Imagination is a comic book, magazine, and comics-related book publisher run by Greg Theakston since 1975.
While briefly doing some original comics in the 1990s, as well a publishing a few "girlie" magazines, its main focus has been in publishing books to preserve the great works of several comic arts. This has included the aborted "Complete Jack Kirby" series (only 4 produced), and the several "Reader" volumes that continue to this day.
