About the series
In the mid-1980s, DC Comics took a bold swing with Sun Devils, a 12-issue science-fiction series that dropped a ragtag crew of misfits onto a hostile alien world. Written primarily by Gerry Conway, Dan Jurgens, and Paul Kupperberg, with Jurgens handling the bulk of the artwork, this short-lived but ambitious title blended space opera grit with Cold War-era anxieties about survival and trust. It stands as a fascinating artifact of its time—a creator-driven, self-contained saga that let DC experiment beyond its superhero core.
