Description

From the publisher:

For the first time, DC collects the 1970s and 1980s short-run comics by prolific writer/artist Jack Kirby in one massive hardcover featuring the Demon, OMAC, Super Powers, The Losers and many more.

In the world of comic books, few writers or artists loom as large as the legendary Jack Kirby. By the early 1970s, he'd already spent 30 pioneering years innovating and exploring the comics art form.

After a groundbreaking decade at Marvel, Kirby returned to DC Comics and immediately began crafting some of his best-loved works, most notably his cosmic epic, the Fourth World saga. For anyone but Jack Kirby, this colossal masterpiece would have been contribution enough to the DC canon, but "the King" spent that same period revitalizing all corners of the DC Universe, from superhero antics to experimental horror to wartime realism, and creating such unforgettable characters as Etrigan the Demon and OMAC.

This volume pulls together more than 1,400 pages of these "other" Kirby comics from the 1970s and 1980s, featuring the Demon, the Sandman, the Losers and more!

Collects stories from In the Days of the Mob (1971) #1, Spirit World (1971 Magazine) #1, The Demon (1972-1974 1st Series) #1-16, The Sandman (1974-1976 1st Series) #1-6, Omac (1974 1st Series) #1-8, Our Fighting Forces (1954-1978) #151-162, Super Powers (1984 1st Series) #1-5, Super Powers (1985 2nd Series) #1-6, First Issue Special (1975) #1, 5 and 6, DC Comics Presents (1978-1986 DC)#84, Richard Dragon: Kung Fu Fighter (1975-1977) #3, Weird Mystery Tales (1972-1975) #1-3 and Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion (1972 DC) #6.
