About this Collection

This collection reprints the complete 11-issue run of Jack Kirby's original 1971 series, The Forever People, along with their debut from New Gods #1. It follows the adventures of the Super-Cycle-riding young New Gods from Supertown as they explore Earth and battle the forces of Darkseid, showcasing Kirby's cosmic Fourth World saga at its most vibrant and idealistic.

Jack Kirby’s Forever People #1 (1999) kicks off with a powerful twist as the Forever People construct a new body for Deadman, enabling him to walk among the living once more. With his spirit still tethered to an unresolved mystery, Deadman and the team set out to track down the Scavengers—leads that might finally reveal who murdered him. Written and illustrated by Jack Kirby, with inks by Mike Royer and cover art by Kirby and Frank Giacoia, this issue blends cosmic wonder with a haunting personal quest.
