Rikane "Ric" Starr

Rikane "Ric" Starr burst onto the DC scene in 2013 courtesy of Keith Giffen and Tom Raney, landing in Threshold — a short-lived but ambitious Modern Age series that carved out a wild corner of the DC cosmic universe. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Ric is a rare gem, sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, Star Hawkins, and a colorful cast of cosmic characters that signals just how far-flung and adventurous Threshold's world truly was. Brief runs can be the most intriguing — there's a concentrated intensity to characters whose stories burned bright and fast — and for collectors with a taste for deep-cut DC space opera, Ric Starr is exactly the kind of discovery worth chasing down.
