Description

Published 1974.
Star*Reach was published by Mike Friedrich. The comic was intended for the same audiences that read Marvel and DC but distributed like underground comics.
Star*Reach was the forerunner of the independent comics and a pioneer in creator's rights.
Issue #1 contained stories by Chaykin, Jim Starlin, Walt Simonson and Steve Skeates. It was wildly successful, going into four printings.

This is the last page of the story.
Starbuck had rescued Evangeline, bride to be of Sir Gideon Pickett, Planetary Lord of Korul.
He then finds that his hated enemy Trachmann has betrayed Pickett and launched an invasion of Korul. Starbuck confronts Trachmann who tries to escape via a matter transmitter which Cody destroys and the resulting explosion kills Trachmann.
Unfortunately the capital city has already fallen, so Cody departs with Evangeline.

If never new issue
I'd never have indie try
If not for our first hero
We'd never have the new franchise

If Cody’s in issue
Evangeline would leave Korul
It's time I start Chaykin
But there's Star Buck in zip-a-tone

I keep Reaching for Star Buck Chaykin
You got a Star Buck Chaykin

This is my favorite era of Chaykin art. I love American Flagg but would take this style over that one. Nice page.

Star*Reach was an amazing comic. Anyone reading this comment... go find and read the backissues as you will be well rewarded. It's also a prime example of Chaykin's solid early work. Very lovely!
