Omac v1 #1, 1974 - The last of Jack Kirby's Fourth World titles, Omac the One Man Army Corps makes his first appearance. The cover is starkly minimal, emphasizing typography over background. Oddly enough, the image of a girl in a box seems disturbing without proper context. Inside, Kirby tells the tale of an ordinary employee named Buddy Blank. With the aid of a computer satellite called Brother Eye, he suddenly transforms into a super-hero. The artist follows the opening splash with a powerful two page spread of Omac in full command. All in all, Kirby's pencils mesh seamlessly with Mike Royer's inks. This is 1 of 8 Omac issues by Kirby. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover, 1st origin Omac, 1st appearance Brother Eye, 1st issue / Kirby gallery- - - - - - - - - -

I loved Omac! With its sci-fi setting, Kirby's increasingly off-the-wall ideas fit much better here than in, say, his Captain America work in the mid-70s. And gave him a chance to show off some wild artwork, as well.
