OVERVIEW: After co-creating a number of legendary comic book heroes - including The Fantastic Four and The Hulk - legendary writer/artist Jack Kirby came to DC Comics in 1970 to create his magnum opus: four interlocked adventure series that were known collectively as The Fourth World.

Now, for the first time, DC collects Kirbys four series - THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE, MISTER MIRACLE and SUPERMANS PAL, JIMMY OLSEN - in chronological order as they originally appeared. These comics spanned galaxies, from the streets of Metropolis to the far-flung worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, as cosmic-powered heroes and villains struggled for supremacy.

THE FOURTH WORLD VOL. 4 features This fourth and final volume collects the remaining issues of these classic series - THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE and MISTER MIRACLE - in chronological order as they originally appeared! Also included in this volume are Kirbys sequel to THE NEW GODS, plus the graphic novel THE HUNGER DOGS - featuring 25 pages restored to Mike Royer inks - and rarely seen Kirby art from DCs WHOS WHO series, all from the mid-1980s.
