The editors at DC Comics made an odd choice by mixing the four Fourth World titles together in these four volumes rather than publishing one volume each of New Gods, Mister Miracle, Forever People, and Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen. They probably assumed Jimmy Olsen would not sell half as well on its on as it would included with New Gods, and they were correct. Only a Jack Kirby completest would seek out his Jimmy Olsen work, although some of it is quite good. The Jimmy Olsen material is not typically lumped in with the Fourth World, but it is related. A great piece of comic book trivia is the fact that the first appearance of legendary DC villain Darkseid was in the pages of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen.
