Forager

Forager is a Bug — a member of the insect-like humanoid race living beneath New Genesis — who defies his caste's lowly status to fight alongside the New Gods in Jack Kirby's Fourth World saga, bridging the divide between the proud gods and their underclass.

Born from the singular imagination of Jack Kirby in 1972, Forager is one of the Bronze Age gems of DC's cosmic mythology, debuting in The New Gods #9 as part of Kirby's sprawling Fourth World saga. Over more than fifty years this character has kept extraordinary company — sharing pages with Superman, Batman, Orion, The Flash, and Green Lantern — a testament to how deeply Forager is woven into the fabric of the DC universe. Appearances in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe confirm a place in DC canon worth knowing, and turns in Convergence and Multiversus: Collision Detected show a longevity that stretches well into the modern era. If you love Kirby's cosmic ambition and the rich, strange corners of DC history, Forager is exactly the kind of discovery that reminds you why digging into back issues is always worth it.
