About the series
Jim Starlin's cosmic space opera, Dreadstar and Company, debuted from Marvel in 1985, bridging the gap between his earlier Dreadstar epic and the next chapter. Over six issues, Starlin and occasional collaborator Archie Goodwin expanded the galaxy-spanning conflict between the tyrannical Monarchy and the rebel Instrumentality, focusing on the team that rallied around the mystical Sword of Power. This series matters as a key, character-driven interlude in Starlin's signature creation, deepening the lore of a fan-favorite cosmic corner before the saga continued elsewhere.
