Help me out here, Kirby heads, do we know whether he meant for Darkseid’s arms and legs to be bare? Modern artists/colorists tend to render them the same color and texture, but some colors on Kirby works have smooth pink arms/legs like tights compared to a craggy gray face.

Random read from the Iron Age: the John Francis Moore/Adam Pollina “road trip” X-Force run. I had never read any of this but I found a consecutive run in a bin for 40 cents a pop; I sometimes think it’s fun to go into something like this with zero baggage.
