Star Hunters

In the late 1970s, DC Comics launched Star Hunters, a seven-issue science-fiction series that followed a band of interstellar adventurers exploring a war-torn galaxy. Written primarily by David Michelinie and Bob Layton, with art from talents like Rich Buckler, Curt Swan, and Don Newton, the series offered a lean, action-driven take on cosmic frontier storytelling. Though short-lived, it stands as a distinctive artifact of DC’s Bronze Age, showcasing the publisher’s willingness to experiment with space opera outside the shadow of its superhero icons.
