The acclaimed series STARMAN, starring a Gen-X super hero from the 1990s, is re-presented in high quality format, featuring spectacular art by Eisner Award winner Tony Harris.

In this volume, Starman stands shoulder to shoulder with heroes including DC's Captain Marvel, Batman and many others.

First, in a story set in the 1940s, Ted Knight, the original Starman, works with Captain Marvel and Bulletman to clear himself of espionage charges.

Then, back in the 1990s, young Jack Knight, the new Starman, must capture the deadly Doctor Phosphorous before embarking on a mission into space to find lost hero Will Payton. And in a never-before-collected story, Starman teams up with Batman and Hellboy to rescue his father, Ted Knight, from neo-Nazis who have tapped into a mystical power source.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

In its fourth volume, the deluxe reprinting of one of the 1990s’ best superhero comics showcases the middle of Starman’s seven-year run. Second-generation hero Jack Knight has grown more comfortable with his father’s legacy, so Robinson shifts the focus a bit to bring in other characters from the DC universe, such as Captain Marvel and the Demon, and to portray other superheroes who adopted the Starman name over the decades. Even those who have the earlier paperback Starman reprints will want this volume, for it includes several previously uncollected stories, among them a two-issue collaboration with Batman and Hellboy, gorgeously illustrated by the latter’s creator, Mike Mignola. --Gordon Flagg

Review

"The best-written super hero in comics . . . Starman is keen."—Entertainment Weekly

"What'll make THE STARMAN OMNIBUS resonate with newcomers . . . is how well [James] Robinson and [Tony] Daniel articulated the character of Jack Knight, a slacker with idiosyncratic tastes and ideals that didn't originate in any corporate boardroom."—The Onion --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
