In the far reaches of a galaxy torn apart by cosmic war, Dreadstar stands as one of the most visionary science-fantasy comic series of the 1980s — and this issue, headlined by the bold tagline Skeevo to the Rescue?!, delivers all the action, wit, and interstellar intrigue that made the series a cult classic. The story centres on Vanth Dreadstar, a lone warrior and reluctant hero navigating the brutal conflict between two tyrannical galactic empires, accompanied by a ragtag crew of misfits — among them the lovably roguish Skeevo, whose bumbling yet oddly pivotal role takes centre stage here in a tale that balances high-stakes combat with sharp, irreverent humour. Created by the legendary Jim Starlin — the visionary mind behind Infinity Gauntlet and Warlock — Dreadstar represents the pinnacle of his creator-owned ambitions, originally published under Marvel's Epic Comics imprint. Starlin's artwork is kinetic and expressive, his character designs immediately iconic, and his storytelling weaves grand space-opera myth with deeply personal character moments. Whether you are a long-time devotee of cosmic comics or a newcomer to Starlin's universe, this issue raises one irresistible question: can Skeevo actually pull it off?
