Description

Jim Starlin�s Marvel work had a big impact on me back in the day: Space Opera. Philosophy. Offbeat humor every so often, just enough to keep us from focusing too much on the end of� well, everything.

So it was no surprise that I was more than curious about Dreadstar, his creator owned project that launched form Epic (Marvel�s creator line) in 1982. Sure enough, it did not diverge from Starlin�s established interests � or my taste. I enjoyed his entire run on the series.

(It�s always so odd when a creator leaves a creator-owned book. But it happens frequently. And I digress.)

This page is actually one of two I acquired about 10 years ago. The other page had Vanth Dreadstar on it (although minimally) but I ended up keeping this one (and trading the other) because it sums up the classic Starlin style. To me, only Steve Ditko did space and time magic with the same trippy flair.

(Crazy neon coloring by Glynis Oliver Wein on the published piece as well.)

Now I'm going to have to dig out my Dreadstar comics, and read them again. Great page from a really fun Starlin series. Thanks for sharing

This is a really cool page, Starlin is by far his own best inker. Great Syzygy and love all the cool Ditko inspired otherworldliness.
