Grading guides

The Forever People #1 in context

Why collectors care

The first full appearance of Darkseid, cover-dated February-March 1971, by Jack Kirby. It is the book most collectors treat as the definitive Darkseid key, and part of Kirby's Fourth World, one of the most ambitious runs in comics.

How to identify it

Forever People #1, 1971. The cameo appearance is in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #134 (1970), also in this catalog. This issue also introduces the Forever People themselves.

Common mistakes

The cameo-versus-full distinction against Jimmy Olsen #134 is the main confusion on this character. Confirm which book a listing holds.

Grade considerations

An early-70s book with a bright Kirby cover that shows spine color-break. High-grade copies with white pages carry a clear premium.
