If 2001 is the movie then I’d be interested in that, as well as Indy. Droo posted a link to online versions of the Marvel books and I enjoyed the few I got around to seeing. :)

Yes, Jack Kirby adapted the movie 2001 for Marvel in an oversized tabloid edition (I have it, and it's pretty cool), then he followed up with a ten-issue comic book series (which I'd like to track down). Machine Man was intro'd in that series.

With just the tabloid and a short series, it would be a brief Omnibus, but Marvel could add in the 19-issue Machine Man series that Kirby started to round it out.

It has been speculated, however, that DC might be more likely to reprint 2001, as the rights would lie with Warner now.

You had me at Kirby, but that looks crazy and nuts and cool. No idea that Machine Man was an offshoot from a 2001 comics run! 🤪

Results.

Ips that made top 60--

2001
avp classic
Indiana jones
transformers
gijoe
akira (with the never reprinted marvel short stories by the original manga writer!)

Note alf, barbie and shogun warriors all did well but just missed the top 60.

Top 20 will go to marvel to pick from. Indy missed top 20 by two. Ouch.

Note any book that made top 60 did incredible as there were over 600 books to vote for! So even if they didn't win marvel could still look at how well they did in the votes.
