Ibis was originally Prince Amentep in ancient Egypt. Ibis was given the incredibly powerful magic
Ibistick to wield wisely during his rule. Circumstances forced Ibis and the Ibistick, along with his
partner Princess Tala, to spend 4,000 years in suspended animation. Upon awaking in two separate
museums, Ibis and Tala (of course) decide to dedicate their lives to fighting crime and saving lives.
Ibis the Invincible was created by Bob Kingett and debuted in WHIZ COMICS #2 in February of 1940. It
was published by Fawcett Publications. Ibis would be a regular back up character in WHIZ COMICS for
over a hundred issues.
IBIS THE INVINCIBLE GIANT-SIZE VOLUME TWO BLACK & WHITE EDITION collects Ibis's adventures from
WHIZ COMICS #40-63, 99-104, 119-129 & 154. The reason this is not a more complete collection is the
stories not compiled in IBIS THE INVINCIBLE GIANT-SIZE VOLUMES ONE and TWO are not public
domain and could not be included in theses collections. Much of the source materials for the early
Fawcett comics come from low-resolution fiche so not all of the artwork is as clear and pristine as
would be preferred. We are constantly working to update our books in order to have the best possible
images, but in the meantime we hope you will accept these stories in their imperfect authenticity. In
spite of these challenges IBIS THE INVINCIBLE GIANT-SIZE VOLUME ONE is over 400 pages of
Golden Age magic!
