About the series
In 1984, Marvel Comics launched a three-issue adaptation of The Last Starfighter, bringing the film's arcade-cabinet-to-cosmic-battle premise to the page. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Bret Blevins, the series expands on the story of a video game champion recruited to defend the galaxy, capturing the movie's earnest sci-fi adventure. Though brief, it stands as a faithful companion to the cult classic film, offering a slightly deeper look at the Star League's war against the Kodan armada.
