Null, are you feeling okay? You're talking about something comic-related that I actually think is cool. Hell, you even started an interesting thread about it! Do you have medical coverage? You might want to get a checkup, just in case.

Talk about over-reacting........

let us stick to our love for Kirby's Fourth World.

though the whole Don Rickles thing...

[dANdeLION]

I haven't actually read of the TPB's titled "Jack Kirby's Fourth World".....is it reprints of New Gods, Mr. Miracle and Forever People? If so, then I have read some of it, mainly Mr. Miracle. There was also a John Byrne version of it, ans I haven't read any of that, either.

[sgt.null]

correct on New Gods, Mr. Miracle and Forever People.

add Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen.

it is a wild ride. some of it doesn't quite work (the Don Rickles stuff)

but i find a majority of it to be jaw dropping in concept and execution.

and if you could replace Superman in the series - near perfection.

[dANdeLION]

You're going to have to explain the Don Rickles part....as far as I know, he never wrote comics, and he wasn't a character in the DC universe.

[sgt.null]

Jack Kirby's Fourth World books featured Goody Rickles, based on comedian Don Rickles, Don had a comic book series with DC.

If you read the Jack Kirby 4th World Omnibus it explains the whole thing.

Apparently Don was very popular at the time and it was brought up as an idea to insert Don in a DC comic and it kind of spun out of control. Jack was gonna do a quick cameo, have him take a 1-liner at Supes, and exit. I think Don wasn't thrilled with it, but didn't balk at the idea. DC liked the idea and thought if he was going to appear than he should be in more than 1 issue. Maybe the comic would be mentioned on TV and get some publicity - but that never happened.
