Axel Starker

Axel Starker stepped onto the page in 1990's Twilight #1, a prestige DC project that brought together the creative firepower of Howard Chaykin and José Luis García-López — a pairing that alone signals something ambitious and visually arresting. Born in the Copper Age, Starker inhabits a corner of the DC universe populated by science-fiction stalwarts like Tommy Tomorrow and Star Hawkins, a gathering of futuristic figures that gives Twilight a rich, retro-tomorrow atmosphere. His footprint in the catalog is modest, rooted almost entirely in that landmark series, but the company he keeps and the creative team behind his debut make him a rewarding discovery for fans who love when DC swings for something bold and unconventional.
