Set Description:

An interesting bit of info on the first issue is that Kirby did the art for the entire issue except for Superman. DC felt that Superman needed to look more like his current incarnation which was nothing like the way Kirby drew him.

Picked this up on ebay slabbed for a grand total of about $30! This is the first full appearance of Darkseid. Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen 134 is given credit as Darkseid's first cameo, much the same as Wolverine's first cameo in Hulk 180. This is also the first appearance of the Forever People! This is another 1970's Jack Kirby creation. An interesting thing to note is that Superman was not drawn by Kirby, but by Curt Swan. DC wanted Superman to appear as the way he popularly appeared during that era and drawn by Curt Swan.

While on Earth the Forever People disrupted the evil plans of Darkseid. This was not the kind of attention Mark wanted, During their visit Beautiful Dreamer was kidnapped, Mark was not impressed. Due to the Fact they had stumbled across an intergalactic war. New Genesis and Apokolis Had got themselves into a war while they were vacant from supertown, Mark blamed Sarifan for the situation they were in. They had to rescue Dreamer. Darkseid was the leader of the Apokolis. He was about to test the Non-Violent Group to there fullest.The war was the fault of a maniac partner of Darkseid known as Devilance, They both partnered up to destroy the peaceful place of New Genesis, they waged war on all that was peaceful, and earth was where he chose his headquarters.
