This series' opening spash page of a smiling, talking, disembodied female in a box was incredibly disturbing to me as a child.

Beautiful color printing on high quality uncoated newsprint paperstock.

In my opinion, the best archival edition of this material because of the paper stock: it looks like the comic book. Archival collections are typically printed on a whiter coated stock than the original comics and the coloring is not adjusted to compensate for that, so the colors are too bright and too garish. The colors here are muted and the overall reproduction looks closest to the original comic books. And that is what I want whether I'm indulging in nostalgia or coming to the work for the very first time.

This series of Kirby hardcover collections on newsprint are the closest one will get to hardbound copies of newsstand comic books. Absolutely beautiful reproduction.

From the publisher:

In one of his last major works, Jack Kirby, co-creator of Captain America, The X-Men, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, and many others, envisions a 1984-inspired dystopia.

The protagonist is corporate nobody Buddy Blank, who is changed by a satellite called Brother Eye into the super-powered OMAC (One Man Army Corps). Enlisted by the Global Peace Agency, who police the world using pacifist means, OMAC battles the forces of conformity in this short-lived but legendary series that serves as a companion to the JACK KIRBY'S FOURTH WORLD OMNIBUS series.

Inked by D. Bruce Berry and Mike Royer.
