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 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'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'.

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.

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.

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.
