Darkstar

A cosmic-era DC creation who burst onto the scene in 1993, Darkstar is one of those compelling Copper/Modern Age figures who inhabits the grand, galaxy-spanning tradition that DC does so well. Debuting in The Darkstars — crafted by writer Michael Jan Friedman and artist Paul Pelletier — this character shares adventures with the likes of Green Lantern, Ferrin Colos, and Mo Douglas, placing them squarely in the company of interstellar heavyweights. The series ran through the mid-nineties, a tight, atmospheric window that gives Darkstar a focused, cult-worthy appeal for collectors hunting that distinctive era. With 22 catalog appearances concentrated in The Darkstars, this is a character who rewards the dedicated fan willing to dig into one of DC's more underexplored cosmic corners.
