Thanks for the link to my review, Roger, and thanks even more for bringing more attention to one of the best comics-related books of the year.
Evanier has said that he is working on a much longer bio of Kirby; I don't know if that is still in the works or not, but in the meantime, Kirby: King of Comics is a great celebration of the man and his art.
Yeah, Mark has been clear all along that he is doing a Kirby biography and that this current book isn't it. I have a feeling -- this is pure supposition on my part, and does not reflect any statement by Mark -- that the healthy sales figures on this book have made it a lot easier to get that biography published when the time comes.
Also, that biography when it arrives is certain to be full of previously unrevealed facts and empirically verifiable data...but it may not be any "deeper" in the psychological sense. Mark doesn't do psychoanalysis -- that's just not his approach to writing -- and even if he did, he'd probably consider it presumptuous to speculate on the inner life of someone like Kirby. That's not meant as a criticism of Mark; writers have to come at these things from their own individual directions, and Mark's approach is a very material, let's get down to brass tacks kind of direction. The speculation and theorizing is left to others like me, who will happily spin outrageous theories untroubled by reality... ;-)
