Fourth World Omnibus

The *Fourth World Omnibus* compiles the work of the legendary comic book creator Jack Kirby. Kirby wrote, penciled, and edited this epic saga after leaving Marvel Comics to work for DC Comics in 1970. He is universally recognized as one of the most influential artists in American comic book history.

The *Fourth World Omnibus* features a vast array of cosmic characters created by Jack Kirby, most notably Darkseid, Orion, and Mister Miracle. The saga centers around the eternal war between the planets Apokolips and New Genesis. It also introduced the concept of the Anti-Life Equation to the DC Universe.

The comprehensive hardcover collection includes the complete runs of *New Gods*, *Mister Miracle*, *The Forever People*, and *Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen*. It gathers all the interconnected stories that Kirby produced for DC Comics in the early 1970s. The omnibus provides a definitive reading experience for the entire epic.

Jack Kirby's original Fourth World saga was published by DC Comics in the early 1970s, beginning in 1970. The stories ran concurrently across several different comic book titles until their cancellation in 1973. The *Fourth World Omnibus* hardcover collected these issues much later, in 2007.
