American Update: Kirby’s Fourth World! – Forever People #1 (1st Full Darkseid!), 1st Mister Miracle!
*DC: A one-two punch from Jack Kirby’s Fourth World, the cosmos-spanning saga he brainstormed for DC after famously severing his association with Stan Lee and Marvel Comics. Following on from the introduction of Supertown in Jimmy Olsen, Supertown’s most famous denizens, the Forever People, got their own series – though what #1 is best known for now is the first full appearance of Darkseid, who has become one of the DC Universe’s most iconic villains. Following on from that, we also have the first issue of Mister Miracle, in which Scott Free, child of New Genesis but raised in the fire-pits of Apokalips, makes his bid for freedom from Darkseid’s regime – on Earth! Forever People #1 is FN+, cents copy with no pence price, £45; Mister Miracle #1 is also FN+, pence £25. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
