Fourth World After Kirby Issue • BACK ISSUE • 1 “The great one is coming! The Boom Tube! So powerful in concept it’s almost terrifying!” Those words appeared in full-page ads in DC comic books dated August 1970. They were trumpeting the arrival of “the King.” Jack Kirby was coming to DC and bringing with him a number of concepts he had been holding back during his final days at Marvel. The triumvirate of books that Kirby initiated, The Forever People, New Gods, and Mister Miracle, combined ® with him taking over the already-existing Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen, introduced a staggering number of concepts that have since become universally known as Kirby’s Fourth World. The problem was, according to most sources, the books didn’t sell phenomenally. And books that don’t sell get canceled. [Editor’s note: After strong initial sales, by Kirby’s titles commanded mid-range sales, but not the Brian Martin huge numbers that were expected due to the King’s Marvel profile.] Despite that, pretty much all of the characters, situations, and core concepts introduced in those books have been fixtures in the DC Universe ever since, and along with the original Kirby issues are viewed with almost universal reverence. So when everyone loves the creations, it makes sense that people will use them and even try to revive them in standalone books. Again, though, it is pretty much the common belief that while a few have come close, no one has handled them as well as their creator. Maybe the concepts are just too big, too… “Kirby” for anyone else to get a grip on. Of course, that doesn’t mean that over the years a lot of people haven’t tried! THE LAST FIRST ISSUE 1st Issue Special was the brainchild of Carmine Infantino during his tenure as publisher of DC. The series was given the BACK ISSUE treatment in issue #71 in which Gerry Conway, who edited some of the series, explained its premise. gerry conway “Carmine came up with this rather brilliant notion that first issues sell better than subsequent issues, so why not put out a magazine that’s entirely first issues?” Though the concept did not fly in the ’70s, you have to wonder how it would have done in later years when first issues and appearances became all the rage. With the 13th and final issue of that series (Apr. 1976), it was decided to try and revive the Kirby concept of the New Gods, but the impetus for that decision may have come from a very unlikely source. None other than Roy Thomas reveals, “Sometime soon after Kirby left DC entirely, Gerry Conway, then back at DC, said Carmine would love to meet with me. So the three of us got together briefly at DC. We talked about a lot of things, including Carmine’s desire to see me come over to DC, which I wasn’t ready to do just yet. Just to see if I could influence Carmine to do something, I told him that one Kirby Kontinued 1st Issue Special #13 (Apr. 1976), featuring “The Return of the New Gods.” Cover by Dick Giordano.

Fourth World After Kirby Issue • BACK ISSUE • 3 good thing about Kirby leaving was that now he Fourth World Revival was free to being back New Gods, etc., with a different writer/approach. Carmine sparked to the (top) The New Gods, back in idea, and soon afterward the revival was published.” print. A Kirby-conjuring, Gerry Conway received the writing assignment for the issue with dialogue help from Denny bombastic Al Milgrom cover O’Neil and art by Mike Vosburg. The story graced issue #12 (July 1977). attempts to follow Kirby’s final issue, referencing events from it several times while also mentioning (bottom) Return of the New a truce that is surely intended to explain what the characters had been, or rather, had not been Gods’ versatile penciler Don doing since the original series was canceled. Newton (who was profiled way Most readers were probably a little shocked, though, as the characters seem to take a definite back in BACK ISSUE #19) was turn towards being portrayed as superheroes adept at both the tranquility of more than gods. There is no better indication of this than early in the issue when a pack of New Genesis (left) and the cosmic Parademons attack New Genesis and Highfather chaos of intergalactic warfare calls on Metron to create a Boom Tube to dispose of them. Later, the duo engages in some plotting (right). Page 3 of New Gods #14 together, certainly not things the scholarly (Oct. 1977), inked by Dan Adkins, character would have done under Kirby.

The story takes place in the distant past and touches on themes Pollack would echo in the main book. A series connected to the gods also ran during the same time period. Takion was the creation of Paul Kupperberg and Aaron Lopresti and ran for seven issues in his own title, beginning with a June 1996-dated issue. Created by Highfather from a blind Earthman, Takion was a Source elemental and is supposed to have been created to help clean the taint from the Source, though he is later revealed to be paul kupperberg After the events that ended issue “Wall of Souls” created more as an avatar for Highfather.

August 27, Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. First and foremost, the first story here is widely acknowledged as the story that kicked off the "Silver Age" of comics. What the actual fuck? Panels are often horizontal and spread across the page, giving things a streamlined look. I was so curious where it is that I looked it up and opinion is divided as to whether it is in Ohio or Florida. This metabolic limitation would later be continued into Barry Allen's character for the brief television series The Flash broadcast in —91, as well as The Flash series which debuted in , though to a lesser degree. One thing we didn't mention was the name of his artistic collaborator. Modern comics would also probably play for comedy the idea of Barry Allen imitating and trying to live up to a fictional character in the real world, sort of like Walter Mitty but with power to back it up.

A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.

  • Costume Culture: Visual Rhetoric, Iconography, and Tokenism In
    COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies Texas A&M University-Commerce in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2017 COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS A Dissertation by MICHAEL G. BAKER Submitted to: Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez Committee: Tabetha Adkins Donna Dunbar-Odom Mike Odom Head of Department: M. Hunter Hayes Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Interim Dean of Graduate Studies: Mary Beth Sampson iii Copyright © 2017 Michael G. Baker iv ABSTRACT COSTUME CULTURE: VISUAL RHETORIC, ICONOGRAPHY, AND TOKENISM IN COMIC BOOKS Michael G. Baker, PhD Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2017 Advisor: Christopher Gonzalez, PhD Superhero comic books provide a unique perspective on marginalized characters not only as objects of literary study, but also as opportunities for rhetorical analysis. There are representations of race, gender, sexuality, and identity in the costuming of superheroes that impact how the audience perceives the characters. Because of the association between iconography and identity, the superhero costume becomes linked with the superhero persona (for example the Superman “S” logo is a stand-in for the character). However, when iconography is affected by issues of tokenism, the rhetorical message associated with the symbol becomes more difficult to decode. Since comic books are sales-oriented and have a plethora of tie-in merchandise, the iconography in these symbols has commodified implications for those who choose to interact with them. When consumers costume themselves with the visual rhetoric associated with comic superheroes, the wearers engage in a rhetorical discussion where they perpetuate whatever message the audience places on that image.
