This companion to that “FOURTH WORLD” series looks back at JACK KIRBY’s own words, as well as those of assistants and STEVE SHERMAN, , and publisher , to determine how it came about, where it was going, and how Kirby would’ve ended it before it was prematurely cancelled by DC Comics!

With an overview of hundreds of Kirby’s creations like BIG BARDA, BOOM TUBES and GRANNY GOODNESS, and post-Kirby uses of his concepts, no Fourth World fan will want to miss it!

MAC RABOY Master of the Comics Beginning with his WPA etchings during the 1930s, MAC RABOY struggled to survive the and eventually found his way into the comic book sweatshops of America. In that world of four-color panels, he perfected his art style on such creations as DR. VOODOO, ZORO the MYSTERY MAN, BULLETMAN, , , and his crowning achievement, CAPTAIN MARVEL JR. Raboy went on to illustrate the GORDON Sunday newspaper strip, and left behind a legacy of meticulous perfection. Through extensive research and interviews with son DAVID RABOY, and assistants who worked with the artist during the Golden Age of Comics, author ROGER HILL brings Mac Raboy, the man and the artist, into focus for historians to savor and enjoy.
