“The Strange Odyssey of Achilles!”

In "The Strange Odyssey of Achilles!", Starman faces a mythic surprise when the legendary Greek hero Achilles materializes in modern-day Gotham, mistaking Dee for Helen of Troy. With Starman's energy blasts pushing back the invulnerable warrior, Achilles calls upon Hera—only to be granted a divine suit of armor that shifts the battle’s balance. Written by Len Strazewski and illustrated by John Calimee, with inks by Roy Richardson, colors by Tom McCraw, and letters by Bob Pinaha, this 1991 issue features a striking cover by Kevin Maguire and Rick Bryant.

Dee is acting in a television commercial when the ancient Greek hero Achilles suddenly appears, believing that she's Helen of Troy. Starman fights him off and Dee changes into costume to help. In spite of Achilles' fabled invulnerability, Starman's energy powers give him the upper hand but Achilles prays to his patroness Hera, who provides him with a suit of armor that evens the odds.
