a thread dedicated to the Fourth World.

Izaya the Highfather

leader of New Genesis in a spiritual and political sense.

Darkseid

ruler of Apokolips.

the Source
A metaphysical concept, it can be considered a shared Cosmic Consciousness.

I'm confused, Null. Why isn't this thread the "Fourth World" thread. There isn't much discussed or depicted here that features Jack Kirby (I assume that is the "Kirby" referenced in the title of this thread.)

Isn't much? Isn't any!

Null. What up?

Null seems to get ahead of himself sometimes, and forgets to fully flesh out his thoughts. Mr. Miracle was part of the Fourth World, so here's some cool Kirby covers of MM escaping impossible traps:

I was hoping you all jumped in, and you did.

dAn, do you own those issues you posted? because with the holidays coming I could sure use some.

I'm sure there's a comic store near you that will be willing to sell them to you. My favorite is 12, but I wished OSHA had been a bit more consistent and had that torpedo labelled 'Torpedo'.

Ebay is your friend when buying comics.

Ironically enough, I don't. I currently have 3, 7-10, and 13-25. The ones I posted were on ebay, but I didn't bid on them because I thought I had them; hence the irony. Well, I do have 7; just not 'that' 7.

Christmas is cominge, send them to me?

Post by **dANdeLION** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 1:00 pm

Tell you what; I'm bidding on a set right now and if I end up with some doubles (which would be 14-16 if things go my way) I'll send them to you.

thank you sir! i will wish you the best of luck. have you bought the giant size jack kirby readers? i have enjoyed them.

Post by **dANdeLION** » Mon Sep 03, 2007 3:23 pm

I haven't. I will try to find some; my intention was always to get the complete Kirby FF stuff that way, as I have just about every issue after Kirby left. I did win those 3 Mr. Miracles, so pm me your address and I'll send my copies to you.

How is Mister Miracle related to Scott Free?

They're one and the same.
