STARBLAZER TP VOL 02

Interstellar Space Fiction Adventure in Pictures! This astronomical anthology collects two classic Starblazer issues from DC Thomson's extra-terrestrial archives: The Web of Arcon by Mike Knowles, illustrated by Carlos Pino and John Martin, and The Death Reaper by Grant Morrison, illustrated by Enrique Alcatena and Keith Robson. These two vintage issues from 1979 and 1984 have been blown up to full-graphic novel. Also included in this volume are an exclusive interview with legendary artist Carlos Pino (Commando, 2000 AD's Judge Dredd), cover gallery, and foreword by Doctor Who screenwriter and comic author Paul Cornell. The Web of Arcon - Reconnaissance ships patrolled the dark recesses of the Galaxy. As these ships were largely automatic, the crew spent long periods doing nothing. But on his first deep space trip, the newly commissioned Lieutenant Janus was about to encounter The Star Queen, a spaceship long thought lost and destroyed. Well, the truth about its fate was stranger - and more dangerous - than fiction! First published Starblazer #12, 1979. The Death Reaper - Mikal R. Kayn was a policeman. He was forcibly retired by the Republic of the United Worlds' Department of Justice, Star Cops, for methods to be found in no book... and a slight medical problem - he was all but blind. However, being medically blind didn't stop Kayn from becoming a Private Investigator, in fact, the Justice Department were delighted, because it got him off their backs. Well, almost... on March 23, 2284, Kayn's old partner, Affa, still a Galactic Policeman, was in the middle of an investigation and he needed Kayn's help! First published Starblazer #141, 1984. The volume is once again capped off with an interstellar cover by Neil Roberts (2000 AD, Warhammer, Commando).
