Where it came from
The New Gods #2 was published by DC Comics in 1971 as part of Jack Kirby’s ambitious 'Fourth World' saga. Following his departure from Marvel, Kirby was granted creative freedom to craft a sweeping cosmic mythology. This issue serves to deepen the conflict between the utopian New Genesis and the hellish Apokolips, moving beyond the introductory phase of the series to explore the specific burdens of its central protagonists.
The design and narrative were driven entirely by Kirby, whose signature dynamic layouts and blocky, monumental character aesthetics defined the visual language of the Fourth World. While the series was initially received with some confusion by readers accustomed to traditional superhero fare, it was widely praised by critics and later creators for its unmatched imaginative scale. The work remains a cornerstone of bronze-age comics, cementing Kirby’s legacy as a visionary storyteller.
