DC Super-Stars Presents: Star Hunters



DC Super Stars Presents: #16

David Michelline (w) Don Newton (a)

DC Super-Stars was a double sized comics which featured mostly reprinted material at first ut then started producing original stories of which Star Hunters was one. This science fiction adventure doesn't contain any pleasant characters at all. An evil corporation engaging (through skulduggery and genetic manipulation) the services of "good guy" Donovan Flint who has an ego the size of a planet.

Along with five other impressed crew, a mix of scientists and computer wizards) they are forced to search for an alien race who have left behind some artefacts.  The corporation has made sure of their co-operation by altering them so if any of them go to Earth they would die within 24 hours. The process which can be reversed (they say) is expensive but will only be given when they return with alien technology.

Star Hunters was actually given it's own series which lasted just 7 issues and was lost in the DC implosion. This is certainly a short run I will try to collect. It looks fun!
