Starman #28

This "Times Past" chapter of DC's Starman takes a moody, psychedelic turn with issue #28, subtitled "Superfreaks & Backstabbers." Tony Harris's cover art arranges a striking cast of figures — a green-skinned woman, a brooding man smoking a cigarette, a glowing spectral figure crackling with energy, and two additional shadowed faces — all orbiting a glowing lava lamp that anchors the composition in unmistakable late-'60s atmosphere. With James Robinson writing and Craig Hamilton on interior art, this 1997 issue promises the kind of layered, character-driven storytelling that made this series one of DC's most distinctive of its era.
