This issue features "Super War" written and drawn by Jack Kirby and inked by Vince Colletta. The Forever People find a place to live in a slum area with Willie and his lamed nephew Donnie. But Darkseid sets Mantis, a power parasite, against the people of Metropolis, and the young Supertowners must summon Infinity Man to battle him. This story has been reprinted in Jack Kirby's Forever People TPB (1999), Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus Vol. 1 HC (2007), and Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus Vol. 1 TPB (2012).
This is Mike Royer's first work with DC, having previously worked for Gold Key as Russ Manning's assistant on Magnus, Robot Fighter and Tarzan. Royer also had done a number of stories for Warren in Eerie, Creepy, and Vampirella. Mike would spend the next five and half years at DC inking and lettering Jack Kirby's books before moving on to Marvel when Kirby moved back there. He continued working for Marvel off and on through 2003.
Edited by Jack Kirby.
