In "Death in a Dark-Starred Void!", Prince Gavyn's life takes a fateful turn when he's cast into the void of space by his sister to avert civil war, setting the stage for his journey as Starman. Written by Paul Levitz and brought to life with Steve Ditko’s distinctive art and Romeo Tanghal’s inks, this issue blends cosmic mystery with personal tragedy. The cover, a striking collaboration by James Sherman and Jim Aparo, captures the moment of Gavyn’s exile in dramatic detail.
