Ditko was merely the penciler here (notice Romeo Tanghal was inking), so he was probably just trying to make a living or supplement his self-publishing. He was doing a lot of short stories for DC's sci-fi Dollar Comic Time Warp at this time, too. Paul Levitz was the writer/creator of this version of Starman, so it was mostly his vision.The Groovy Agenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466541479854942040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-87468198306577631742020-09-12T04:03:10.830-04:002020-09-12T04:03:10.830-04:00Was there a deep hidden meaning in the Starman ser...Was there a deep hidden meaning in the Starman series?

I hadn't been too crazy about his work over in Legion of Super-Heroes, but had enjoyed his mystery/sci-fi stuff for DC at the time. I second having this series reprinted.

It was in fact this series - together with the Marvel pocketbooks reprinting the first roughly 20 issues of Spider-man that came out at about the same time - that really made me appreciate Ditko's art. And the stories themselves were quite enjoyable - just good old spare-faring super-hero fun.<br />I really, really, really wish DC would reprint this, preferably together with Starlin's conclusion in DC Comics Presents.Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.com
