Item Description
JACK KIRBY's arrival at DC was the biggest comics news of 1970! I remember the excitement and speculation about just what he would do with the established DC characters . . . or new ones born of his limitless imagination! Here is his third issue of NEW GODS, continuing his amazing 'FOURTH WORLD' magnum opus, and introducing the character of BLACK RACER!The New Gods were natives of the twin planets of New Genesis and Apokolips. New Genesis was an idyllic planet filled with unspoiled forests, mountains, and rivers that is ruled by the benevolent Highfather, while Apokolips is a nightmarish, polluted, and ruined dystopia filled with machinery and fire pits that is ruled by the tyrannical Darkseid.
In the story "Death is The Black Racer!", dreamed-up, written and illustrated by Kirby, we find that The BLACK RACER, a sky-skiing harbinger of Death to the people of New Genesis, is Boom Tubed by Metron to Earth. There he stops an Inter-Gang thug from killing Willie Walker, a paraplegic black Viet Nam vet. The RACER merges with Walker's body, giving him mobility, and tracks down and destroys an Apokolips device that would have shorted out all communications devices for thousands of miles. Afterwards, the BLACK RACER separates from Willie Walker's body and leaves him in his bed, to remerge with him when he is needed.
This is a great-looking copy of one of the earlier issues in Kirby's 'Fourth World' saga. The binding is strong, the pages are supple and bright, there are no splits, tears, separations, or pieces missing - a terrific part of any Kirby collection! Overstreet values this issue in this 7.5 VF- condition at $33 . . . but we're offering it for $15, which makes it available to you at the most affordable price here on HipComic, along with our L•O•W shipping!
