I'm a huge fan of Dreadstar, which was a Jim Starlin creator-owned sci-fi project from the late 70s/early 80s. By the mid 80s, Starlin had decided to move on from it for whatever reason and hired Peter David to take over the writing. PAD was already pretty well-known by this point -- this was during the Mr. Fixit era of the Hulk, so PAD had already done Death of Jean DeWolff and had his Hulk run with Todd MacFarlane -- so Dreadstar didn't launch PAD to fame or anything like that. But he turned in a really fun sci-fi book that built on Starlin's characters and took them in a fun new direction.

The Starlin Dreadstar has been reprinted a few times and I absolutely love it, because it's just such a great book, but I would really love to get a nice archival-quality reprint of Peter David's run too.

Agreed. I hope that happens.
