The classic super-hero series STARMAN, starring a Gen-X super-hero, is re-presented in high quality format by James Robinson (BATMAN: FACE THE FACE) and Tony Harris (EX MACHINA).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.

I'd never read Starman before, but I'd heard a lot about it, all good. And it's all true. Starman is an oddly permanent fixture in the DCU. I've seen him, in the classic costume, in dozens of books, not really knowing who he was but still liking that very iconic, very visible costume. The costume is...
It has arrived! It's been years since I read these comics so it'll be like they're new again.Later:These comics are even better than I remembered. The thing that hooked me about Starman was that it was more than your average super hero comic. Starman isn't just about a super hero. It's primarily...
