Of course, the most visionary part of the "Fourth World" cycle is the part where Don Rickles's doppelganger "Goody Rickels" helps out Superman and his pal Jimmy Olson.

Goody Rickles is great too. Those are some of the best comics ever.

I've loved the Fourth World for years, and always did the (probably pretty basic) mytheme thing with it. Can you recommend some good secondary reading about it?
-
Charles Hatfield's Hand of Fire is great on it.

I love that this work was happening the same time as Philip K. Dick’s VALIS stuff. What did Kirby and Dick think or even know of each other?
-
They had mutual friends (Gary Panter!) and were voracious readers, so perhaps.
