DC's 1988 series launches with a vivid Tom Lyle cover that sets the tone immediately: a determined hero in a bold purple-and-yellow star-emblazoned costume surges skyward, fist raised, while a crackling energy burst erupts at his feet amid a rugged rocky landscape. Roger Stern, Tom Lyle, and Bob Smith bring this new Starman to life, and that fiery orange sky backdrop gives the whole image a sense of raw, wide-open ambition. "Grassroots Hero" is right there in the title — this is a superhero story building from the ground up, and issue #1 makes a confident first impression.
