	Golden Age Starman Archives Vol. 1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Some interesting elements of Ted (Starman) Knight’s story circa 1941: his gravity rod worked only at night (when the stars are out, get it?) in those days, and it gave him super-strength in addition to the powers its modern equivalent manifests today.
		Starman was also more of a street brawler in his day, and more of a wisecracker, than the modern reader might expect (perhaps dues to the dictates of the editors of the day that stories be filled with the kind of action that would appeal to young boys).
		Starman fans, in particular, can bear witness to the roots of the legacy on which James Robinson is building today.

		Comics aren’t meant to be literature, appealing only to those with cobwebs in their brains.
		The reason so many comics people get all up in arms about comics as literature is because of the stranglehold that superhero comics (generally not literary) have on the medium and how that tends to drown out (though less and less in recent times) the better non-superhero works.

		Yes, all of the comics touchstones disdained by adults-- silly, alliterative names and spandex costumes, bloody noses and clinched fists in the battle of Good against Evil--are here, but not as the focus of Starman.
		As example, Starman's clumsily attempts at impressing the babes with his superhero status are met with disdain.

		Guided by a love of the source material from the classic heyday of comic book superheroes (Robinson is, after all, the man who wrote the excellent post-WWII superhero series The Golden Age), Starman: Sins of the Father exhibits a warm nostalgia that never alienates newcomers to the character.
		Starman has since departed from the superheroe scene(i think?) but this run of stories has many many great moments in the modern super hero context.
		They show this Starman superhero and related friends, associates, as very human persons, equiped with fallen human nature, and have to go through their own personal, yet in some cases, universal, spiritual and vocational superhero trials and tribulations.

		In the DC Comics series, Jack Knight became Starman after his brother, David, was killed by the son of the Golden Age villain, the Mist, Kyle.
