The Toon Treasury Of Classic Children's Comics!.Heroes From The Heavens - And The Omega!.When I need to readjust the molecules of my mind I just dig out my vintage Kirby comics and snap through the "Boom Tube" of my imagination to altered realities of a most pleasant kind. I've altered my consciousness with drink a time or two or three, but for the most part I've lived a pretty much totally sober life by society's standards. Aside from a minor excursion into weed a time or two in college, I've never partaken of drugs. I learn more about the people of those faraway climes and most importantly I learn more about the world in which I live and more about myself to boot. Every time I read them again I learn more about their world and more about mine. I've lots of things planned in my imagination for this blog in the next year, but one thing for certain is that I will be taking yet another of my annual revisits to New Genesis and Apokolips and all points between, and by that of course I mean Earth itself.
I can still remember seeing the debut issue of New Gods on the stand at a drug store which is long gone in my old hometown which has itself fallen into disrepair.
Now it turns out it's been fifty years since those impactful comic books Jimmy Olsen, Forever People, New Gods and Mister Miracle burst out of the "Boom Tube" and onto the newsstands. I've written many times about the impact Jack "King" Kirby's "Fourth World" books made on me when I was a young man on the verge of becoming full-fledged teenager.
