#JackedKirby - Mister Miracle Monday with Himon!!! 💥💥💥 Himon (and his storyline in Mister Miracle) is a very complex character/storyline and more proof that Jack had lots of backstory for the Fourth World that he never got to tell. In #Issue9 of Mister Miracle (August of 1972) Jack decided to take a step backwards and Flashback to a young Scott Free and how he escaped Apokolips and the clutches of Darkseid.... 💥💥💥 Himon is an inventor and rebel, using his inventions to help propel an army of soldiers against Darkseid. He secretly lives on the planet Apokolips as a Hunger Dog (the lowest class of people) so that he can manipulate events and cause trouble for Darkseid. Himon invented the Boom Tube and is very knowledgeable of the Source. 💥💥💥 This opening splash we see a brave Himon reaching through a Boom Tube to rescue a young Scott Free. It’s a snapshot of what is to come... in what is one of the most action packed issues of the series. 💥💥💥 In Pics 2/4 we see the final few pages of the issue, which show Scott trying to escape Apokolips and being caught up to by Darkseid. Instead of stopping Scott... Darkseid does the opposite. He gives Scott a choice.... stay here and keep the peace, or go through the Boom Tube and in effect BREAK THE PACT! This will give Darkseid cause for attacking New Genesis and breaking the peace treaty with Highfather. But it also brings Scott back to his original New God roots... and lays the groundwork for his love (and fellow Darkseid soldier) Barda to consider defecting too! 💥💥💥 I love the opening splash for the Boom Tube image, and you have to love Darkseid’s declaration.... both are done quite effectively. Also note that in Pic 4 Himon and Metron appear in spiritual form... another concept that George Lucas may have “borrowed” for Star Wars when he added “Force Ghosts” from The King!!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #MisterMiracle #MisterMiracleMonday #Himon #BoomTubes #TheSource #Darkseid #Apokolips #HungerDogs #FourthWorld #4thWorld #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGcomics #ComicsOfIG #DCcomics #DC https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gB6QghxCm/?igshid=1m5catexnl907
