New Gods #5 - Jack Kirby art, cover & reprint + 1st Fastbak

Jack Kirby

New Gods v1 #5, 1971 - Having escaped the clutches of underwater mutates, Orion discovers a gigantic shell that's been recently abandoned. Four splash pages and a jaw-dropping two-page spread of a floating behemoth adorn this excellent Jack Kirby tale. Mike Royer takes over as inker, staying true to the original pencils' excitement and spontaneity. The resulting pages reach new artistic heights within the series. "Spawn" was later reprinted in New Gods v2 #3. Remaining stories feature the Young Gods of Supertown (featuring Fastbak in his first appearance) and the golden age Manhunter (reprint). This is 5 of 11 New Gods issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance Fastbak // Kirby gallery
