About the series
In 1985, Federal Comics launched The Saga of Crystar Crystal Warrior, a six-issue miniseries that introduced a fantasy realm where warriors wielded living crystal weapons. Created by writer Larry Hama and artist Michael Golden, this short-lived but visually striking series blended sword-and-sorcery with a unique crystalline aesthetic, standing out for its ambitious world-building and Golden's detailed, dynamic art. Though it never expanded beyond its initial run, Crystar remains a cult curiosity from the mid-80s comics boom, remembered for its distinctive premise and the creative team's passionate execution.
