Stargazing Episode 1 - "Pilot" and "S.T.R.I.P.E."

A Brief History of the Starmen - Starman Primer, Part 1

Before we get started with reviewing the 1994 Starman series, I feel it’s worth our time to take a look at the history of the Starman title and the state of the DC Universe as Jack Knight appeared. Just consider this our own little “Issue #0.”

My Tale of Times Past

The year is 2011. 

I’m on thatguywiththeglasses.com watching the latest episode of Lewis “Linkara” Lovhaug’s comic book review series Atop the Fourth Wall, a review of the 2009 DC Comics miniseries Justice League: Cry for Justice by James Robinson and Mauro Cascioli. At 2 minutes and 35 seconds into the video, I hear the name that would one day become one of my greatest loves - "Starman."

“It’s a glorious tale of superheroes, romance, complex characters, and even quite a few of tragic moments…”

That was how Lewis described James Robinson’s and Tony Harris’ Starman.
