The “Lost” Cody Starbuck Story and a Cody Starbuck Omnibus is Overdue!
My introduction to independent comics was the first issue of Star*Reach. It featured a Howard Chaykin Cody Starbuck story. Starbuck was a swashbuckling space pirate. Over the years I followed his all-too infrequent adventures.
Cody Starbuck made appearances in…
- Star*Reach issues #1 and #4
- Cody Starbuck (self-titled issue published by Star*Reach)
- Heavy Metal issues #2 through #6
- a portfolio of prints published by Sal Q. (I still have mine!)
- The Star*Reach Companion reprinted some Cody Starbuck stories.
There was also another Cody Starbuck story published in Spain back in the early 80’s. Sadly, I like many Chaykin/Cody Starbuck fans never got a chance to see it. It was never reprinted in the US.
Isn’t it time we got a US version of the Cody Starbuck story published in Spain? Better yet, how about a nice hardcover omnibus reprinting all the Cody Starbuck stories, the portfolio and other bonus materials?
