The Millarworld comics library from Dark Horse Comics continues to expand, as Mark Millar and Goran Parlov’s science-fiction masterpiece about a great hero picking up the mantle years after retirement finds a new home in Starlight Library Edition. This new edition offers readers a gorgeous, oversized, deluxe collection of the series, soon to be adapted into an action movie from a major studio! Featuring Parlov’s gritty, brush-heavy art style combined with Millar’s action and character-driven writing, Starlight’s creative team includes colorist Ive Svorcina (Aliens vs. Avengers), and letterer Marko Šunjić (Biblioteka Orka), with cover art by John Cassaday (Star Wars).
Forty years ago, Duke McQueen was a space hero who rescued an alien world from tyranny. Unfortunately, nobody believed him when he came back from his intergalactic adventure. Now, his kids have grown up, his wife has passed away, and life has little to offer him in his lonely retirement. All that loneliness is tossed aside when an old-fashioned rocket ship descends into his backyard, and a little boy from the world he saved urges him to come back to save the universe one last time.
Can Duke handle the leap from has-been to hero? Will he even fit into his old costume?
