	Opinions 42 - Hitting the Wall IX: Dreadstar (Nov 2000)
		Dreadstar, at this point, moved to save a new galaxy from the menace of the Instrumentality and its Lord Papal, the former echoing the Universal Church of Truth and the latter combining salient traits of both Thanos and the Magus.
		Originally Dreadstar connected to his powers by means of an ancient sword he could evoke and dismiss, but at a point in his struggle against the Lord Papal, a blow destroyed this implement and the power it represented became a part of Dreadstar's person.
		Dreadstar realized, early on, that he had become a goon for a corrupt regime with no particular moral credibility, in spite having overcome the murderous Instrumentality; but that problem resolved itself when Willow merged with the main computer that administered the decadent bean-counting (and misery-generating) policies of the Empirical Galaxy.

	Dreadstar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dreadstar was the first comic published by Epic Comics, in 1982.
		It was centered on Vanth Dreadstar, sole survivor of the entire Milky Way galaxy, and an ensemble cast of crewmates, including sorcerer Syzygy Darklock, and their struggle to end an ancient war between two powerful, evil empires.
		The comic, created by Jim Starlin, was bimonthly, lasting 26 episodes under Epic, then was bought by First Comics, who carried it for 37 more issues.

	Dreadstar
		Dreadstar the last survivor of the destroyed Milky Way Galaxy found himself transported to the Empirical Galaxy.
		Dreadstar features the adventures of Vanth Dreadstar; Dreadstar the last survivor of the destroyed Milky Way galaxy found himself transported to the Empirical Galaxy where he was recruited by the sorcerer Syzygy Darklock to help bring an end to a two-hundred-year-old war between the corrupt Monarchy and the fanatical Instrumentality.
		Dreadstar (and Warlock before it) is perhaps the peak of Starlin's career, and at least the early volumes should not be missed by cosmic afficionados.

	NEWSARAMA - JIM STARLIN: FATHER OF DREADSTAR
		Dreadstar appeared, stole the stage, and found his way to Caldor, where, stumbling and injured, he was found by the cat-people (results of Instrumentality genetic engineering) that inhabited the world and quietly lived as farmers.
		Dreadstar’s presence on the world attracted another seeker, Syzygy Darklock, a former high bishop in the Instrumentality who had left the church to take part in a quest that had led him to the reluctant hero.
		Dreadstar resisted Darklock’s insistence that he was meant for greater things, and continued to live a pastoral existence as a farmer on Caldor with his wife and good friend, Oedi, a cat-man.

	Star Wars: Wraith Task Force - Rabin Dreadstar
		Dreadstar was able to exorcise Valtaine's spirit upon Marissa's death, and took responsibility for Kelody, treating her as his own daughter.
		Thrown together in their escape from Imperial forces, Dreadstar and S'sko's crew ended up on the planet Rigadoré, where Dreadstar attempted to destroy an Imperial research facility that was developing a potentially genocidal form of terraforming.
		Dreadstar clung to life for a brief time, watching as Trevor barely managed to hold his own against Mara Jade.

	Dreadstar
		History: Born in the Milky Way Galaxy, Vanth Dreadstar proved to be able to access a great power, and was tricked into destroying his own galaxy.
		Dreadstar first appeared in "Metamorphosis Odyssey", a story which ran in the first eight issues of Marvel Comics Epic Illustrated.
		It was followed in Epic Comics' Dreadstar #1-26 and First Comics' Dreadstar #27-30, with a story about the war against a High Papal and his church of super-villains.

	In Not My So Humble Opinion.
		Plan M represents the first six issues of the ongoing Dreadstar series that was published by Marvel's Epic Comics imprint in the mid-1980s.
		The basic premise of Starlin's series was that Vanth Dreadstar, the last survivor of the destroyed Milky Way galaxy, found himself transported the Empirical Galaxy, where he was recruited by the unscrupulous sorcerer Syzygy Darklock to help bring an end to a two hundred year old war.
		Starlin's work on Dreadstar was a sharp commentary on a number of contemporary societal and political issues: the mentality that led to the Vietnam War, the excesses of unrestrained capitalism, the dangers of fanaticism, and the abuse of religious authority to cultivate power.

	World Famous Comics: Dreadstar Volume 2: The Price
		This volume is concerned with two main stories: the origin of Syzygy, the horrifically scarred and powerful sorceror who later aids Vanth, and Vanth himself as he begins the second Act of his life: the appalling violence of the galactic Monarchy/Instrumentality war, brutally brought home to him in the most graphic way imaginable.
		Batman and Spiderman were wonderful when I was a child, but as a teenager in the '80s I embraced Dreadstar since it was far more complex and nuanced than any typical superhero comic of its time.
		Dreadstar Volume Two: The Price suffers from the same sins of excess as Volume One did: It's overwritten and cluttered with things that, in the end, aren't necessary.

	COMICON.com: STARLIN: STILL COSMIC AFTER ALL THESE YEARS
		As a writer and artist he was part of a revolutionary group of creators who changed the face of comics in the early 70s.
		From Jim's comments, it seems like they're going to start with Dreadstar, which takes place AFTER "Metamorphosis," but it would be nice if they'd start at the real beginning...
		Dreadstar was the best thing he ever did tho.

	GWEEB Comic Book SuperStore : Dreadstar Volume 1 Part 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Dreadstar Definitive Collection Part 1 collects the first six issues of Jim Starlin's space opera, the flagship title of Marvel's creator-owned Epic Comics line in 1982.
		Cosmic swashbuckler Vanth Dreadstar, skull-faced mage Syzygy, and cat-man Oedi are battling to end the destructive galactic war between the two superpowers, the Instrumentality (church) and the Monarchy (state).
		Dreadstar isn't as compelling or original as some of Starlin's other cosmic creations (Warlock, The Death of Captain Marvel, among many others), but it's an engaging read.

		Written and Drawn By Starlin, detailed Vanth's arrival in the Emperical galaxy and the unending war between the Monarchy and the Holy Church of the Instrumentality.
		The showdown with the Lord Papal's forces, and Dreadstar's gang being picked up one by one, shocked me: After all, heroes aren't supposed to be defeated, and some escape door should always be left open by the writer...

		First, I would like to remind (for emphasis) this is a fl-and-white reissue of the original series that was truly magnificent in color.
		I'm a big fan of Jim Starlin, and I have fond memories of reading the Dreadstar series when I was a young teen.
		Vanth Dreadstar himself is an obnoxious creep, so there is NO ONE to feel for in this book.....all you can do is be dragged along for a quest that takes Millions of years to complete, and then is rendered completely moot at the end.

	Recycling Bin 28 - Ragging on Roddenberry (Aug 2000)
		While Dreadstar and company visit a planet named "Urth" (I assume no connection between this planet and Continuity Comics' "Urth 4"), invading extraterrestrials land and render great tracts of real estate into flaming debris.
		Rather than turning on their prospective conquerors, the Urthlings instead blame Dreadstar, et al, for the appearance of the mouthpieces of the Franchise, and therefore opt to pelt them with a variety of handy garden produce, preliminary to the likely lynching of the scapegoats inheriting the blame for their upcoming misery.
		However, Dreadstar, in whatever incarnation, never particularly favored diplomatic approaches to troglodytic problems, and therefore launches an assault upon the invaders.

		These gorgeous, painted pages originally appeared in Epic from 1979 to 1982, and introduced audiences to Vanth Dreadstar and the other characters whose saga continued in the Dreadstar graphic novel and Epic series in the early 80s.
		This is a fl-and-white reissue of the original full-color series - something the brief website description neglects to mention.
		This is the original series that started the subsequent adventures of Dreadstar and Co. and it is very different from the Marvel (I think they were Marvel) series.
