![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() These comics spanned galaxies, from the streets of Metropolis to the far-flung worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, as cosmic-powered heroes and villains struggled for supremacy. Now, for the first time, DC collects Kirby’s four series - THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE, MISTER MIRACLE and SUPERMAN’S PAL, JIMMY OLSEN - in chronological order as they originally appeared. Here’s the publisher’s blurb:Īfter co-creating a number of legendary comic book heroes - including The Fantastic Four and The Hulk - legendary writer/artist Jack Kirby came to DC Comics in 1970 to create his magnum opus: four interlocked adventure series that were known collectively as “The Fourth World.” It’s hard to describe but it seems people love it or hate it. The paper used is a type of pulp that has a mat finish: the colours are warm and the reproduction quality is excellent but it also carries a bit of the feel of the original issues. The first thing that hits you is how light the book is: at 396 pages you expect a lot of weight but it isn’t there. I picked up Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Omnibus Volume One and have since gone back and negotiated for the entire run. ![]()
