This is the catalog of the Kirby exhibit that was at Cal State Northridge. I wrote too much about it on the Facebook TAG blog. It is a great book with some interesting essays. They call the Fourth World on period Kirby's Apocalypse period as he moved away from hero centric stories to whole worlds facing their moral comeuppance.

If a person wanted it , it would be buy now. 500 bucks on ebay in a year. Your link doesn't work for me.
Maybe ad blocker is keeping me off the site
Doesn't work for me either
Kirby! Ben! A winning combo!
Are you saying they say Kirby's Fourth Wold represents his peak?
I like the Eternals, too!
No, the Fourth World on represents a period. There is an essay on Silver Star, which most essayists dismiss as waning Kirby, that is very interesting and makes me want to get a copy of that series. The Apocalypse Period is when Kirby is almost totally in charge of his books and you would describe a series as, "You see, there's this world where... and they're trying to prevent their destruction..." rather than, "You see, there's this guy who can... and he fights ..."
I blather on about the show before I read in the catalog why they called this the "Apocalypse Period" here:
