Kalibak and Orion are locked in definitive battle. Will Kalibak live to aid Darkseid in his conquest of the Earth? Or will Orion live? Will he live to finally confront the ominous Darkseid face-to-face? 72 pages, full color. (NOTE: Story continues in Hunger Dogs GN (1985 DC) By Jack Kirby #1.) Cover price $2.00.
