Cody Starbuck

This is the splash page to the first Cody Starbuck story that I ever read.  In fact it may be the first Cody Starbuck story that Howard Chaykin ever created.  It was part of an independent anthology comic called Star*Reach that  I picked it up at the first comic book convention that I ever attended,  OrlandoCon 77.  That’s a lot of firsts, isn’t it?

Cody Starbuck was good stuff.  It reminded me of an Errol Flynn movie in outer space, but created for a modern audience.  Someone should reprint all the stories in a nice new hardback edition.  Then once that’s done they can check back here to see what I else I’d like.
