American Update: DC Debuts: Forever People #1: 1st Forever People, 1st Infinity Man; 1st full Darkseid
*DC: There’s a lot to say about Forever People #1. Not only is it the debut of the Forever People themselves and the pivotal Fourth World character Infinity Man, but it’s also the first full appearance of Darkseid (third anywhere). That is to say, although it’s listed as such in the Overstreet Price Guide and widely regarded as the first full appearance of the classic DC arch-villain, we’re not convinced that just three panels of the Big Bad (and on video screens at that) really constitutes his first full appearance. Still, you pays yer money and you takes yer choice. This is a nice presentable copy with minor wear at the right cover edge, but nice pages, good staples and clean, unimpaired cover image; just a tad dingy — not unusual on a white background cover. One of the more entertaining aspects of this issue is seeing guest star Superman rendered by Al Pastino alongside Kirby’s characteristic style — a strange experience.
