The New Gods #1 in context

Why collectors care

The first appearance of Orion and the New Gods, cover-dated February-March 1971, written and drawn by Jack Kirby. It is the centerpiece of the Fourth World saga and introduced a mythology DC still builds on.

How to identify it

New Gods #1, 1971, by Jack Kirby. Confirm the 1971 first volume: New Gods has been relaunched several times with new #1s.

Common mistakes

Later-volume #1s sold at 1971 prices. The Kirby art and the cover price identify the original.

Grade considerations

Early-70s newsprint with a bold cover that shows handling. Spine stress and tanning limit most copies.
