☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the final story arc of James Robinson's acclaimed Starman series, following Jack Knight as he confronts the legacy of his family's heroic past and faces a climactic showdown with the cosmic forces that have shaped his journey. The volume includes issues from the series' conclusion, wrapping up the character-driven saga that redefined the Golden Age hero for a modern audience.
In "Stars in My Eyes! [Framing Sequence]," Starman faces off against Captain Marvel in Opal City, stalling him long enough for James Barr to escape with his father to Fawcett City. Written by James Robinson and illustrated with striking detail by Tony Harris—whose dynamic cover pencils and inks define the issue’s bold aesthetic—this pivotal moment in the series blends tension and moral weight. As law enforcement and the O'Dares step in, Captain Marvel’s resolve wavers, and Starman prepares to follow Barr’s trail, setting the stage for a journey into deeper mystery.
In "Lightning and Stars, Part 3 of 4," Starman faces off against Captain Marvel in Opal City, buying time for James Barr and his father to reach Fawcett City. With the O'Dares and the Opal City police stepping in, Captain Marvel’s resolve wavers, and he departs to continue his pursuit elsewhere. Starman, having fulfilled his mission, sets off to join his father in Fawcett City.
In "Villain's Redemption," Doctor Phosphorus breaks free from Cray Prison, forcing Jack to confront the threat while Ted watches the news with him. Meanwhile, Shade guides Matt O'Dare toward a new life by confronting those who know his past—culminating in a tense moment with Hope, who remains unconvinced but willing to give him a chance.
In "Knight's Past," newly opened shopkeeper Jack Knight sets out to find the missing Will Payton, reaching out first to his father, then to Shade, and finally to the JLA—only to be turned down. When the JLA refuses to help, Jack confides in Sadie, and just as they begin to share their thoughts, Shade steps in with a solution: a spacecraft to aid in the search.
