Before the events of the classic Dreadstar series from Marvel’s Epic imprint, a Dreadstar tale was told in fondly-remembered magazine Epic Illustrated #15.
This 24-page story serves as the bridge between Metamorphosis Odyssey and the continuing Dreadstar series. A heaping helping of Vanth’s power is served up as has saves the life of his friend and companion Oedi, and dashes off into the galaxy to see his fledgling Plan M come to life.
We’ll drop the first five pages in here for you, but the full story can be found in Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar Omnibus Volume 1, which is of course still available at several reward tiers in the campaign.
Enjoy!
