OMAC: One Man Army Corps #2

Published in 1974, OMAC: One Man Army Corps was the brainchild of Jack Kirby during his tenure at DC Comics. Created in the wake of his departure from Marvel, the series reflects Kirby's fascination with speculative technology, post-apocalyptic societal structures, and the encroaching influence of high-tech surveillance. The narrative follows Buddy Blank, a mild-mannered man transformed into the One Man Army Corps by a sentient satellite known as Brother Eye to preserve order in a fractured, violent future.

The visual design of the series is quintessential Kirby, characterized by dense, kinetic page layouts and an imaginative aesthetic that blends dystopian grit with cosmic scale. In the second issue, Kirby deepened the series' exploration of the Global Peace Agency's global management system and the tension between individual agency and technological control. While the series was cancelled after eight issues, it has since gained significant recognition for its visionary approach to cyberpunk themes and is widely cited by critics as a foundational work in Kirby’s later DC output.
