Starr the Slayer: A Starr Is Born #[nn]

Richard Corben's cover for this 2010 MAX Comics hardcover puts the barbaric Starr front and center — a white-haired, muscular warrior drawing a longbow with fierce intent, a shadowy armed figure looming just behind him against a tangle of dark, skeletal branches. The raw, kinetic energy Corben brings to Starr's powerful stance makes an immediate case for why this character commands his own title. Daniel Way and Corben make for a compelling creative pairing on this adults-only sword-and-sorcery outing from Marvel's MAX imprint.
