Stark: Future #12

In Stark: Future #12 (1987), Ely and her crew race to stop Lazafar from wiping out all life on Chernok, a planet that rejects technology. Along the way, they encounter mysterious intergalactic traders before arriving on Chernok, where they must find the enigmatic high priest Vald. Written by Gordon Derry and illustrated by Steven Hughes—both handling pencils and inks—this issue blends tense urgency with the intrigue of a world shaped by its rejection of progress, all rendered with a distinctive, gritty style. The cover, also by Steven Hughes, captures the journey’s intensity with bold, dynamic lines.
