Description

Three Starmen on one page.

Jack's brother David (in the guise of the Starman of 1951) tells him of the heavy weight their father, Ted (the original Starman) bore after participating the Manhattan Project and the murder of Doris Lee (his girlfriend from the Golden Age stories by Jack Burnley).

I dig the edit of the removed word balloon in panel four ("And now he sits."). A little peek behind the curtain, as it were.

This has fulfilled my longtime wish for a page featuring Jack in "costume" with the added bonus of getting Ted and David in a story that had intrigued me from the first mention of the mysterious Starman of 1951 - who in pre-Crisis continuity was an alter ego of Bruce Wayne/Batman.

Really cool, towards the end of the series the art and words carried a lot of weight.

I do remember holding that page about a year ago, and I almost bought myself. It was between that and page 16 (from the same issue). I probably spent at least 10 minutes before I eventually chose page 16 instead, because it has this wonderful depiction of the Ted Knight starring out of this large window, that looks similar to prison bars, illustrating that he is a prisoner of his own mind. But I will say that the dialogue as well facial expressions are more intriguing on this page - good choice.

Thanks for sharing that. I love hearing about the history of pieces, even just little things like that you held in your hands before it came into my care. As much as these pages are art, they're also artifacts with a past and I like to think of the places they've been.
