5.0 out of 5 stars One fourth of Kirby's Fourth World ..., August 2, 2001

By	The Original Guardian "The Original Guardian" (OA (of course)) - See all my reviews

I am waiting for Mark Evanier and the folk's at DC to realize Jack Kirby's Fourth World isn't complete without the DNA Project, Intergang, Dabney Donovan, the Evil Factory and ... well, the list goes on. Give us Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen! Granted, the 1st half of Kirby's run on the title wasn't the flagship for Kirby's Fourth World. The series really took off with the second half during the '25-cent, Bigger&Better' phase. So, come on DC, complete the reprinting of Kirby's Fourth World and introduce readers to some dynamite storytelling, Kirby style!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the Black and White fool you!!!!, November 3, 2003

By	M. B. RENTZLER (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's a shame this stuff came out in Black and White when it deserved color. Do you hear me DC????? Color!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This collection is worth it anyway. When Kirby wrote and drew this series his teen years were decades past and yet he managed to convey what youth wanted at that time wanted which was to make sense of things and to be counted for something. The usual Kirby Kosmic Space Opera unfolds and seldom is topped today.

A Galactic Trip worth taking!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Its Kirby. What else is there to say?, September 11, 2003

By	Tariq (Bahrain) - See all my reviews

Quite a lot actually. This is probably the least well known of Kirby's Fourth World. Still very good stuff. I liked the whole Fourth World saga except for the first half of Mister Miracle. Good story, good art. Its a wonder he managed to write and draw so much so fast without a noticable dip in quality. The stories are very plot-driven, not as much character development as some of his other work, but what plots! And of course, many new Kirby characters are introduced. A must have for any Kirby fan!
