American Update: New Gods #1 & #2: Jack Kirby’s Fourth World Unleashed
*DC: Jack Kirby’s Fourth World saga at DC has its detractors, but the fact remains that its epic grandeur caught the imagination of a generation, and the characters it generated continue to resonate throughout the DC Universe today. Cornerstone of the Fourth World was the series New Gods, the story of dual worlds – Apokalips and New Genesis – locked in an internecine struggle for the galaxy, one world striving to protect it, and the other to rule it. The first issue of this series introduced Orion, Lightray, Metron and other key figures, and the second issue brought us the second full appearance (after a series of cameos) of Darkseid, ruler of Apokalips and seeker of the Anti-Life Equation. We have outstanding copies of these new in stock: Issue #1 (debuts Orion, Lightray, Metron) is FN+ cents with very light corner wear and a few tiny breaks in spine colour, on sale at £90; #2 (2nd ‘Full Darkseid’) is VF/NM, outstandingly bright with sharp corners, at £80. Both are cents copies without UK price markings. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
