Darkseid by Jack Kirby

    I thought Darkseid was a giant after this first issue. The statue of the dictator that Orion confronts was huge and I misread the perspective on this finale image. I was very surprised to find him sitting in that living room chair in the very next issue. The Kirby-Colletta synthesis was often more than the sum of its parts.
