Star Reach #1 - Jim Starlin, Walt Simonson art + 1st issue

Star Reach #1

Star Reach v1 #1, 1975 - In this premiere issue, Jim Starlin features a manifestation of death in two of his three stories. Both are exceptionally drawn and composed, each page scrutinous in detail. Stylistically, the work is on par with his runs on Captain Marvel and Warlock from the same period. Walt Simonson's tale appears to precede the publication date, evidenced by the primitive and unpolished results. All Starlin stories were later reprinted in Star Reach Classics #1. Note that on later printings of this issue, the back and front covers are swapped. Other artists in this issue include Howard Chaykin. This is 1 of 1 Star Reach issues by Simonson and 1 of 2 Star Reach issues by Starlin. /// key 1st issue
