The Forever People #6
In "The Omega Effect!!," Jack Kirby crafts a mind-bending mystery as a reformed metallurgy professor turns criminal, using his revolutionary lucite armor—bulletproof and disguised as ancient Viking gear—to outwit both police and the Sandman. Kirby’s dynamic art, aided by Joe Simon’s inks and Howard Ferguson’s crisp lettering, brings this high-stakes game of deception to life, while the cover by Kirby and Vince Colletta captures the clash of past and present with bold, striking detail.
