Starlight Volume 1 by Mark Millar
I feel like this is a love letter of sorts from Millar to all those classic pulp stories. I'm glad he shared it with all of us. -- Kirkus
It's sentimental and honest, romantic and sincere, completely unabashed in its nostalgic reverence for old fashioned pulp. In doing something different, Millar has created one of his best books yet. - IGN
...the book is on its way to being an inter-stellar hit and I'm definitely strapping up for the ride. - Bleeding Cool
Forty years ago, Duke McQueen saved an alien world from destruction. Back on earth, nobody believed his story. Now his kids are grown, his wife has passed on, and life has little to offer. Until the day a strange boy from the world he once saved makes an appearance, coaxing Duke to join him on one last adventure. Can Duke handle the leap from has-been to hero?
