For its 80th issue- the Jack Kirby Collector magazine presents a double-sized 50th anniversary examination of Kirby's magnum opus! Spanning the pages of four different comics starting in 1970 (New Gods- Forever People- Mister Miracle- and Jimmy Olsen)- the sprawling 'Epic for our times' was cut short mid-stream- leaving fans wondering how Jack would've resolved the confrontation between evil Darkseid of Apokolips and his son Orion of New Genesis. This companion to that 'Fourth World' series looks back at Jack Kirby's own words- as well as those of assistants Mark Evanier and Steve Sherman- inker Mike Royer- and publisher Carmine Infantino- to determine how it came about- where it was going- and how Kirby would've ended it before it was prematurely cancelled by DC Comics! It also examines Kirby's use of gods in Thor and other strips prior to the Fourth World- how they influenced his DC epic- and affected later series like The Eternals and Captain Victory. With an overview of hundreds of Kirby's creations like Big Barda- Boom Tubes and Granny Goodness- and post-Kirby uses of his concepts- no Fourth World fan will want to miss it! Compiled- researched- and edited by John Morrow- with contributions by Jon B. Cooke.

bindery defects like minor to moderate corner tears, white along the edge of the spine, covers that are offset from the pages (common on cardstock covers) - bindery defects may not affect the grade much if at all
printing defects like a slight color rubs on the back covers, small wrinkles in the paper that were present on the paper rolls prior to the books being printed, paper that is "wavy" from the printing process
2 - 3 small color breaking spine dings or minor non color breaking spine dings
