“Darius Drumm” is a 20-page Kirby story published in\u00a0SILVER STAR #2 [1983] from Pacific, inked and lettered by Mike Royer, coloured by Janice Cohen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Kirby’s \u201cVisual Novel\u201d continues this issue, where the main focus is on the villain, Darius Drumm. But first we catch up with Morgan Miller, ten years later, and how his powers of atomic manipulation have developed. They\u2019re then attacked by projections of Drumm, who also attacks Silver Star\u2019s government minder in his car.<\/p>\n

This issue gives us the origin of Drumm, the first born of those with the genetic gifts from Bradford Miller\u2019s experiments. Kind of creepy, as we find he was talking and evil at birth, his father was head of a cult, the \u201cFoundation for Self-Denial\u201d, until Darius turned the cult on him. Drumm attacks the Miller home again, and we find out that Tracy Coleman has been in \u201cstasis\u201d for the last ten years, and there are others among the Homo Geneticus that Drumm fears.<\/p>\n

Still a lot of set-up, but Drumm is an effective character, if a bit over the top, and his story is among the creepiest things Kirby ever wrote.<\/p>\n
