5.0 out of 5 stars Best. Comic. Ever., 13 Oct 2006
The career high point of the Worlds Greatest Comic Book Artist; for anyone who likes superheroes, it has something of the status of holy writ. Just to take one example -- the double page spread of the alien ship in "The Glory Boat" seem to literally burst of the page as if it was 3D. Other creators may have put better dialogue into the speech bubbles, but no other artist ever crammed more action and energy into the pictures.

Yeah, I wish it could have been reprinted in colour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for the Kirby fan, 10 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This book collects Jack Kirby's ground-breaking New Gods series in an affordable format. Many consider this 1970's DC series to be his most imaginative and original work, in which he had the opportunity to both write the stories as well as draw the art. The artwork is in black and white with gray tones. I'm trying hard to avoid the phrase 'epic modern fantasy' without much success. Jack Kirby was creator or co-creator of some of the most important characters in comics, including Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, the Silver Surfer, and the Challengers of the Unknown.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the sources of Star Wars, 26 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Star wars had many sources, this was one of them. That Kirby was a source of Star Wars is fairly well known. I do not know whether Lucus admited this, but he seemed to go out of his way to leave all sorts of clues. It is fun to look through this work to pick out the things that show up in Star Wars.
