Forever People #1

Jack Kirby's cosmic teenagers are back — this February 1988 opener to DC's six-issue mini-series announces their return with infectious energy, the team blazing forward aboard their vivid pink-and-yellow star-emblazoned Super-Cycle, with a blue-haired young woman and her companion riding up front and several teammates flanking them. Looming large above them in a radiant burst of yellow and red are the oversized faces of the five Forever People themselves, rendered with real personality by penciller Paris Cullins and inker Karl Kesel. Writer J. M. DeMatteis leads the creative charge on "The Day after Forever," and this cover's sheer forward momentum makes a genuinely compelling case that New Genesis has something exciting left to say.
