One of the nicest covers in the history of comics.
That Kirby produced this cover, and the one to NEW GODS # 1 in the same month, at the beginning of his run was one heck of an introduction to his work.
Kirby's 1970-1975 work for DC ROCKS!
JIMMY OLSEN, FOREVER PEOPLE, NEW GODS, MISTER MIRACLE, DAYS OF THE MOB, SPIRIT WORLD, WEIRD MYSTERY 1-3, DARK MANSION 6, THE DEMON, KAMANDI, O.M.A.C, THE LOSERS, FIRST ISSUE SPECIAL, SANDMAN, JUSTICE INC., and a few Simon & Kirby reprints in BOY COMMANDOS, BACK MAGIC, HOUSE OF MYSTERY and elsewhere.
Kirby was incredibly prolific, with a high ratio of great material in these years.
LOL, sub-par is definitely what we would have seen had there been a different inker. Colletta smoothed out Kirby's distorted and sometimes grotesque images. Vince was a versatile inker, using a much bolder technique than he employed in the THOR books. His use of white out over the windshield inks is classic-Vinnie. The last panel is a classic Kirby abstraction.
