Ditko returns to Starman about six years after he'd spent a year chronicling the adventures of Prince Gavyn in the pages of ADVENTURE COMICS, along with Romeo Tanghal, his inker on those stories.
Starman's a really nice Ditko design, as were his supporting characters, as this design with the vignettes in the background show.
I also really like Tanghal's inks on this one, which are a definite step up from his inks on the original run. He was okay then, but it's clear from this that he'd learned quite a bit (I'm sure spending much of that time inking George Perez helped), and this is just a gorgeous piece of work.
Another good DC series I'd love to see reprinted.
