Starman
James Robinson and Tony Harris defined this acclaimed 83-issue DC series, a character-driven superhero saga that followed reluctant hero Jack Knight as he reluctantly inherited the cosmic-rod legacy of his father, Ted Knight. Spanning from 1994 to 2010, the book wove a rich tapestry of legacy, family, and the strange history of Opal City, with artists Peter Snejbjerg and Steve Yeowell joining Harris to bring its moody, heartfelt world to life. Robinson’s deep affection for DC’s Golden Age characters—especially the enigmatic Shade, Richard Swift, and the alien Starman Mikaal Tomas—turned the series into a thoughtful meditation on heroism and the weight of the past. It stands as a landmark of 1990s superhero storytelling, celebrated for its emotional depth and cohesive vision.
