Absolute Jack Kirbys Fourth World Special Edition HC 02

Absolute Fourth World by Jack Kirby Vol. 2 HC

DC Comics · Released Jan 18, 2022

For the first time ever, DC collects the “Fourth World” works of legendary writer/artist Jack Kirby in premium Absolute hardcover editions!

Legendary comics creator Jack Kirby’s mind-boggling “Fourth World” saga continues in the newest volume in the Absolute edition series, Absolute Fourth World by Jack Kirby Vol. 2.

After co-creating comic book heroes such as The Fantastic Four and The Hulk, legendary writer/artist Jack Kirby came to DC Comics in 1970 to write and illustrate four interlocking series known collectively as “The Fourth World.”

Now, DC collects Kirby’s entire runs on these four series–The New Gods, The Forever People, Mister Miracle and Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen. These comics spanned galaxies, from the streets of Metropolis to the far-flung twin worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, as cosmic-powered heroes and villains struggle for supremacy, and the world-conquering Darkseid adventured across Earth for the deadly Anti-Life Equation.

Collects Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #146-148, The Forever People #7-11, The New Gods #7-11, Mister Miracle #7-18, Jack Kirby’s New Gods (Reprint Series) #6, DC Graphic Novel #4: The Hunger Dogs, and Jack Kirby’s lost tale “On the Road to Armagetto” (published at full size for the first time ever), along with a brand-new foreword by Tom Scioli, a gallery of Kirby pencils, never-before-collected essays from Kirby and Mark Evanier, and more
