Publication History
Dreadstar's original adventure, the "Metamorphosis Odyssey", ran in the first nine issues of Marvel Comics' Epic Illustrated (Spring 1980-October 1981). Eclipse Comics followed this with an original graphic novel, The Price, a black and white magazine which was subsequently reprinted in color in 1983 by Epic as the Dreadstar Annual.
The success of the character prompted Epic Comics/Marvel to publish a Dreadstar comic book, which ran for 26 issues (November 1982-August 1986). First Comics subsequently published issues #27-64 (November 1986-March 1991). Jim Starlin left the series after issue #40, and was replaced by Peter David as the writer. Several years after the First Comics title was canceled, Malibu Comics published 6 more issues, set after the end of the First Comics run, and featuring the daughter of Dreadstar (April 1994 - January 1995).
