Burnley cover & art; 1st app of Starman (Ted Knight) (feat. in TV's Stargirl)
DC Premiere CollectionAstronomer and engineer Ted Knight invented the "gravity rod" (and later the "cosmic rod") which allowed him to fly and manipulate energy - becoming Starman. This book marks Starman's introduction and first appearance. Starman later became a member of the Justice Society of America. Ted Knight was the start of a line of Starman characters, including Stargirl and Star-Spangled Kid. Starman, in one form or another, has been a constant in the DC Universe, appearing in his own title more than once and teaming with other staples in the publisher's output regularly. This key comic marks the beginning of the Adventure Comics Starman storyline, which ran through issue #102.
Presenting beaming bright hues that belie the vintage of this Golden Age key, the condition of this book is impressive to say the least. This copy is well centered and solid, and thanks to Joel McHale’s portrayal of Starman on TV’s Stargirl series, the character has been introduced to a whole new generation of fans, giving this classic issue a much-deserved boost in the public consciousness.
Overstreet Guide 2019 F/VF (7.0) value = $6,575.
