“Speaking of Kirby being ahead of his time, OMAC is full of over-the-top but still weirdly prescient examples of a creative genius trying to figure out what the future would hold. With the GPA, Kirby was ahead of the trend by decades, creating a group of people who saw superheroes as the alternative to weapons of mass destruction, dispassionately deploying them (well, him) to trouble spots to avoid a war of apocalyptic proportions.

You may recognize this idea from every comic from the past ten years.”
