☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
In *In Search of a Dream!*, the Forever People journey to Earth via boom tube, seeking help from Superman to rescue their companion, Beautiful Dreamer, who’s been captured by Darkseid. The tyrant, convinced she holds the key to the Anti-Life Equation, has imprisoned her—though her true nature remains a mystery.
In "The Power!", the Forever People are pulled into a high-stakes clash when Billion-Dollar Bates, wielding the Anti-Life Equation embedded in his mind, begins enforcing his will on the world. As Darkseid closes in to seize the power for himself, the heroes must navigate a battle of influence and control—where the real danger may not be the villain, but the power itself.
In "Monster in the Morgue!", Doc Gideon unleashes a grotesque experiment by using one of Serafan's capsules to re-animate a stitched-together corpse, sparking a chilling chain of events. When Deadman appears at a seance to reach out to the Forever People, the line between the living and the dead begins to blur.
In "The Scavengers," Deadman—given a temporary body by the Forever People—sets out to uncover the truth behind his own death, convinced his killer still walks among the living. Teaming up with the cosmic heroes, he follows a trail to the mysterious Scavengers, a group rumored to harvest the remnants of the fallen.
In "Devilance the Pursuer," the Forever People face a relentless threat as Devilance closes in, forcing them to make a desperate call for help. When they summon Infinity Man, a shocking shift occurs—his release from Darkseid’s trap comes at a cost, leaving the Forever People stranded in a void with no escape.
