 | | Kirby's attempts at mind-blowing spectacle -- the Mountain of Judgment, a group of semi-Utopian, hippie-ish biker clones known as "The Hairies," a secret government project producing a rash of Jimmy Olsen clones -- look incredibly dated and loose by today's standards. |
 | | Likewise, his attempt to introduce the cosmic saga of Darkseid, Apokalips and the New Gods via a Metropolis criminal organization called Inter-Gang is a bit clumsy (the despotic alien ruler of another planet using street thugs to carry out his will on Earth?). |
 | | And there's no discernible reason for the presence of overbearing wannabe reporter Goody Rickels, a mirror-image double of comedian Don Rickles, when the latter makes a two-issue appearance. |
