      Followed by Shilo Normon, Scott’s new young ward who later gets his own Mr Miracle title much later. But the remaining issues are devoid of most 4th world fare, focusing on episodic adventures without mention of the new gods.pic.twitter.com/CjpVEKqZ6B

      When the axe comes for this comic, Kirby brings back all the 4th world for a special “wedding issue.” However, the actual wedding only occupies two panels, and Darkseid ends things all but breaking the fourth wall to say “not satisfying? Almost as if they didn’t have time, huh?”pic.twitter.com/0VuGMS21RS

      But while Kirby’s DC work undersold, it grew a cult following among future comic creators, college nerds, stoners, and underground artists. This, combined with booming comic sales in the 80s and the growing graphic novel market, gave Kirby a chance to return and finish his story.

      To help bridge the gap, there was a special New Gods comic to set up the stakes of the Hunger Dogs graphicl novel, and you can tell Kirby was EXCITED to be back and have less editorial meddling because his page layouts get wilder and jam-packed.pic.twitter.com/VmuMJ6aOfT

      The big change in the status quo is that Darkseid has grown impatient waiting for the anti-life equation, and so thus moved to automation and an obsession with office efficiency to create a less personality-having workforce and empire. It was the 80s, you see.pic.twitter.com/Q7xkbG8xGV

      Kirby also goes into more detail as to the meaning of his story, just in case this has all been too subtle for you, or in case you were wondering if he really talked like that.pic.twitter.com/de9wKfgZ9o

      And now we come to the end. While I said I felt there was less editorial influence on his drawing and layouts here, there was a BIG one on the story of this finale: Kirby couldn’t kill anyone important. DC wanted the 4th world characters available after.pic.twitter.com/ylggB4XUKZ

      There is also the problem of his grand saga only making it to year two, and now he had to tie everything up a decade later in 60-70 pages. The result is... muddled. No one involved or buying it was very happy. But its not bad, just hobbled by its lack of space to build.pic.twitter.com/gx8ytaE8Uu

      Hunger Dogs is a tough read because Kirby has to pack a lot of story into a small space, so it's dense. But if you open your mind to it, it's really great and powerful.

          Considering all the hurdles its very creation was up against, it's remarkable how solid it is
