Black Racer 1st Appearance DC Comics 1971 Jack Kirby's New Gods #3 CGC 9.6 NM+

Description: Black Racer 1st Appearance DC Comics 1971 Jack Kirby's New Gods #3 CGC 9.6 NM+ New Gods #3 features the 1st appearance and Origin of the Black Racer, written and drawn by the great Jack Kirby. The Black Racer is a fictional character, a deity and avatar of Death in the DC Comics universe who often hunts those affiliated with the Speed Force. The Black Racer's corporeal form is that of the otherwise bedridden Sgt. Willie Walker, who was paralyzed during the Vietnam War. The Racer makes use of what appear to be skis as his means of transport, much like how the Silver Surfer, another Kirby creation, uses a surfboard. The Black Racer has the power to phase through solid objects and bring death to those he has chosen with a single touch. He travels through the air by means of two cosmically powered celestial skis, which can accelerate to the speed of light. His ski poles can also phase through solid matter to deliver the Black Racer's deathstroke. As a deity, he's also immortal, and wears a cosmic armor that give him super strength and endurance. When he has finished delivering his message of death, the Black Racer returns to the comatose life of Sgt. Willie Walker until he is summoned anew. So just to recap...Jack Kirby created the 1st handicapable super-hero? Yes! And a black veteran at that! Thanks for thinking outside the box so early!
