Product Description:
The classic super-hero series STARMAN, starring a Gen-X super-hero, is re-presented in high quality format.
The super-heroic legacy of Starman is renewed in these stories, in which Jack Knight -- antiques collector and dealer -- inherits the name and powers of his father's old Starman identity from his older brother, who has been assassinated. Reluctantly adjusting to his role, Jack reinvents the look of Starman, ditching the traditional red and green in favor of black leather and aviator goggles. But Jack has inherited more than a heroic identity from his brother . . . he's also gained a foe: the beautiful but mentally unbalanced Nash, daughter of the villain known as the Mist. Jack also must come to grips with The Shade, the morally ambiguous former villain who decides to become Jack's mentor.

A well written series about what it would be like for a regular guy to take up the family buisness of being a superhero. Like any one else forced into a family buisness, there is resentment until Jack Knight becomes addicted to helping people.

STARMAN, the incredible comic book series by writer James Robinson (who also penned the equally incredible "JSA: The Golden Age") and artist Tony Harris ("Ex Machina", "Spider-Man: With Great Power") ran for 81 issues starting with issue #0 (although the character's 1st appearance is in ZERO HOUR #1 in 1994)and was continuously acclaimed both critically and by fans. It was as much a super-hero book as it was an exercise in family dynamics and the concepts of legacies, history, and courage.

The Starman Omnibus, Vol. 1
The first of six collected volumes of the critically acclaimed comic book series of the late 90's and early 00's. It's a pleasure to revisit this masterfully crafted comic book series again, which mixes modern storytelling sensibilities with a sincere love for nostalgia. Fans of both Golden Age and Modern Age comic books will love it!

This is essentially the first two Starman tpb's in hardcover format. While it does include a couple of stand alone issues that the softcover tpb's left out, there's nothing really special about this collection and at $50 retail it should at least be oversized. The James Robinson essay and sketches are nice, but the original softcovers had nice essays too. (The paper quality is the same) That said, Starman is an absolutely fantastic series and a must-read for any comics fan. One of the best on par ... Read More

I'd heard so much about this series and I'm glad I waited and didn't pick up the trades because sitting down and reading all 16 issues was a great experience. It's such a great series written by James Robinson. It's an incredibly modern super hero series but also includes the DC tradition of legacy and passing on a super hero name. I adore Tony Harris' art on Ex Machina and it's so great to see his earlier work. If you love comics and are looking for something unique and fantastic than pick this ... Read More
