dudes. Shouldn’t there be an OMAC sticky? And an FF sticky? And an X-
Men sticky? And She-Hulk sticky?

I had the Kirby Omac #1, wasn't Molly the girlfriend who was turned into a build-it-yourself person? That was one 'out there' comic!
Much later Richard Calder wrote science fiction stories and novels about a a future where women were turning into dolls as if via a virus. Also very 'out there' stuff!

My first experience with OMAC was the JB mini. An instant favorite with me
and remains so to this day. About 10 years ago, I found the complete run of
the original Kirby series for dirt cheap and got those. A great concept but
didn’t really enjoy it at all.

Out of all the great Kirby creations (and he had what seems like thousands), OMAC holds a special place for me. Something about it. Kirby had a way of predicting the future.

I never read Jack Kirby's version on OMAC in the 1970s, so when I had the comic shop I used at that time hold the John Byrne mini-series for me, it was my first encounter with OMAC.

My Dad bought OMAC 1 off the newsstand with me in tow. Lovetere’s
Lakeside Diner. They had penny candy, too. I was 5. I read that thing until
the cover fell off.

I have no idea how we got them, or from where, but when I was young, we
had a load of comics that had no covers.
American comics, not the UK reprints.
This would be when I was about 5.
I only remember a few - Cap as Nomad, Cap’s back & an OMAC comic.
All very weird as I don’t remember the issues ever having covers.
