\"fwo.jpg\"<\/a>JACK KIRBY’S FOURTH WORLD OMNIBUS VOL. 1<\/p>\n

Written by Jack Kirby; Art and cover by Kirby and Vince Colletta<\/p>\n

After co-creating a number of legendary comic book heroes \u2014 including The Fantastic Four and The Hulk \u2014 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.”<\/p>\n

Now, for the first time, DC collects Kirby’s four series \u2014 THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE, MISTER MIRACLE and SUPERMAN’S PAL, JIMMY OLSEN \u2014 in chronological order as they originally appeared. 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.<\/p>\n

THE FOURTH WORLD VOL. 1 features the debuts of Orion of the New Gods, the evil Darkseid, super-escape artist Mister Miracle and many others, and features numerous appearances by Superman, from the pages of SUPERMAN’S PAL, JIMMY OLSEN #133-139, FOREVER PEOPLE #1-3, NEW GODS #1-3 and MISTER MIRACLE #1-3!<\/p>\n
