Description
This is a significant Bronze Age installment of Jack Kirbys legendary Fourth World saga. Published by DC Comics in November 1971, The New Gods 5 features the iconic Bigger and Better 52-page format with a 25-cent cover price. The issue includes the story Spawn and a dynamic cover illustrated by Kirby depicting a fierce battle between Orion and Slig. This copy is particularly notable for its back cover, which features a full-page color advertisement for the controversial Aurora Monster Scenes model kits, a favorite among pop culture historians. As an uncertified, raw specimen, it represents a core piece of Kirbys creative peak at DC and a must-have for collectors of the New Gods mythos.
