DC’s been doing killer work this year honoring Jack Kirby with a several titles and projects that live up to the King’s legacy. One of them is Bug! The Adventures of Forager, from DC’s Young Animal imprint. The surrealistic journey through Kirby’s DC history is the brainchild of the Allred family — brothers Mike and Lee and Mike’s wife, Laura.
Here, Mike Allred writes about how Bug has, to use his word, “haunted” him since he appeared on the cover of The New Gods #9 in 1972.
Oh, and before you get started, you should check out Mike’s ranking of Kirby’s New Gods covers, which you can read here. We’ll wait for you.
You’re back? Cool.
Onward!
