Star*Reach Classics

In 1984, Eclipse Comics revived the independent anthology spirit of the 1970s with StarReach Classics, a six-issue series showcasing reprints and new work from the influential StarReach stable. Writer-editor Mike Friedrich, the original StarReach publisher, curated this collection, bridging the gap between the underground comix movement and the direct market era. The series stands as a vital document of the transition from newsstand to specialty shops, preserving the boundary-pushing, creator-owned ethos that defined a generation of comic book storytelling.
