“The Hand of Darkness”

In "The Hand of Darkness," Jim Starlin's grim space opera continues as Dreadstar and his crew deliver critical teleportation tech to the Monarchy, navigating treacherous politics and a near-fatal assassination attempt on King Gregzor. With Starlin handling both the story and art—joined by Paul Abrams on pencils and Glynis Wein’s moody colors—this issue blends high-stakes intrigue with the series’ signature cosmic dread, all framed by Starlin’s striking cover art.
