My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!

Speaking of startling; make sure you Mike Golden fans track down copies of Howard the Duck (b&w magazine) nrs. 5 & 6 which contain some of the best work by Mike Golden ever. #5 contains a cool satire of Dracula, concealed beneath one of the ugliest covers ever to "grace" a comic.

He obviously didn't pay them any attention thank goodness! Tobehulkinued, Mike Golden was one of the premiere talents of the late 70s, early 80s but he only produced a very small body of work, most notably the Micronauts, who were microscopically small so I guess that makes his small body of work even tinier. If you're interested in sampling his work, see if you can pick up the 5-issue Micronauts Special Edition, which reprints his 12-issue Micronauts run on shiny paper. The colouring was a bit overwhelming but it's probably the cheapest way to get his Micronauts work. Avengers Annual #10 is another classic Golden story. I think it's quite expensive. You could opt for the Chris Claremont Visionaries hardcover, which contains it (among other tales), which should be on sale somewhere. And I think Marvel just produced a new printing of the NAM tradepaperback.
