American Comics Update: DC Debuts: 1st Darkseid cameo in Jimmy Olsen #134 by Jack Kirby
*DC: Having quite startlingly revitalised the moribund Jimmy Olsen title with #133, writer/artist Jack Kirby took it up a notch by introducing Darkseid, the fiendish ruler of the hell-world Apokolips, in the very next issue #134. It was only a fleeting cameo – Darkseid’s image flashes up on a monitor screen while Facetiming with Morgan Edge – but it’s nevertheless the first appearance of the villainous fulcrum of the entire Fourth World Saga, and as such is in high demand. A very nice pence-stamped copy with a brilliant gloss cover by Neal Adams. Very minor ticks at spine do not break colour. Square corners, off-white to white pages, flat with tight, firm staples. There are a few, faint foxing-like marks on the back cover with a small handwritten price in pencil.
