Comics legend Jim Starlin's cosmic sci-fi epic!

The definitive Dreadstar collection continues here, remastered for a new generation!

Vanth Dreadstar, the last survivor of the Milky Way, is desperately trying to save the galaxy he now calls home from two warring empires. Vanth has already seen one galaxy annihilated; can he prevent the same fate from befalling this one? His crew—a cyborg sorcerer Syzygy Darklock, a cybernetic telepath Willow, a cat-like humanoid Oedi, and the freebooter Skeevo—must keep these two power-mad superpowers from tearing the galaxy in two. But their efforts are being sabotaged from within! How can they hope to beat a foe who knows their every move before they make it?

From the mind of comics icon Jim Starlin (Infinity Gauntlet, Captain Marvel, Warlock), creator of Thanos, Drax, Gamora, and many more, comes an eon-spanning space fantasy—remastered and collected from the very beginning in this, the second of three definitive tomes!

This volume collects Dreadstar #9-#24, and the short story "Messiah".

About the Author

Jim Starlin is an American comics artist and writer. Beginning his career in the early 1970s, he is best known for space opera stories, for revamping the Marvel Comics characters Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock, and for creating or co-creating the Marvel characters Thanos, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, and Shang-Chi. Later, for DC Comics, he drew many of their iconic characters, including Darkseid and other characters from Jack Kirby's Fourth World, and scripted the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin, during his run on Batman. For Epic Illustrated, he created his own character, Dreadstar.
