Jack Kirby brought his fertile imagination (back) to DC fifty years ago, and the results, while not always commercially successful, were typically fascinating.

OMAC was one of my personal favorites. It felt vastly different than anything else Jack had done, with one wild futuristic technology idea after another thrown into the mix. (And of course, many of these technologies have come to fruition in the subsequent 50 years. But, as always, we digress.) Ultimately Jack never had chance to fully develop many of these ideas, as he jumped ship and returned to Marvel after just eight issues.

This great chapter splash checks off many Kirby Bronze Age flourishes for me.

Why do I love this page?

It features the title character, a personal rocket ship, and the Kirby cosmos — in all its glory! (Earth’s atmosphere never looked this trippy.)

It features the title character’s name prominently in a flashy hand-lettered headline.

And, of course, it has great Kirby Crackle. Bam!

I don't wanna kill Omac, he's awesome...This is so cool. I'm a big Omac fan, too (put a mohawk on a comic character, I'm in), and the Kirby vehicle, space, Krackle are icing on the cake. Incredible splash. Big congrats!

Another gem from The King; nearing the end of his work with DC.

The smart car of spaceships. Great for zooming around the galaxy and also easy to park.
