Stark: Future

In the mid-1980s, Aircel Publishing launched Stark: Future, a 17-issue series that follows a technologically advanced hero navigating a grim, futuristic landscape. Written primarily by Gordon Derry, with art by Stephen Hughes, Jim Somerville, and Peter Drinnan, the book stands as a distinctive example of the era's independent, creator-driven science fiction comics. Its gritty, cyberpunk-infused world and focus on a lone protagonist set it apart from mainstream superhero fare of the time.
