New Universe: Star Brand (1986-1989)
“There is a weapon in the universe more powerful than all others. No more coveted, feared, loved, or hated thing exists. Only a fool, or a madman – or the right man – would dare possess… the Star Brand!”
Those words appear on the first page of Star Brand #1, above of picture of Ken Connell – wielder of the Star Brand – pressing a railroad car over his head. How could any self-respecting comic book fan resist that opening pitch? That text box alone hooked me on this series. The issues I’ve read (which are only from Jim Shooter’s time on the series) are excellent. We’ll see if the rest of the run (total 19 issues, 1 annual) lives up to it.
Shooter’s work on the book (issues 1-7) is collected in Star Brand Classic Vol. 1.
