Dreadstar: The Beginning

Jim Starlin returns to his cosmic sci-fi epic with this 2010 Dynamite Entertainment one-shot, Dreadstar: The Beginning.

It's a concise, self-contained reintroduction to his signature blend of space opera and philosophical struggle, reminding readers why the Dreadstar saga remains a touchstone for fans of creator-owned cosmic comics.
