Starslayer: The Log of the Jolly Roger #1 – 1992 marks a bold new entry point into the world of interstellar rebellion and time-lost warriors. Published by Acclaim / Valiant Comics, this issue reintroduces readers to a cult-favourite character with deep roots in independent comic book history. Originally created by Mike Grell in the early 1980s, Starslayer blends science fiction, mythology, and high-octane action, offering a gripping tale of heroism across time and space.
This first issue of the 1992 relaunch plunges readers into a richly imagined future where Torin Mac Quillon, a Celtic warrior displaced in time, finds himself leading a ragtag rebellion aboard the starship Jolly Roger. The narrative fuses sword-and-sorcery with science fiction, combining classic pulp sensibilities with a modern, rebellious edge. As Torin battles oppression in a high-tech universe far from his own, he becomes an unlikely symbol of resistance against tyranny.
The artwork is bold and energetic, capturing both the grandeur of space and the grounded grit of close-quarters combat. The visual style embraces the early ’90s aesthetic with dynamic panel layouts, expressive characters, and richly detailed backdrops that transport readers across galaxies. Whether you're a longtime fan of the Starslayer mythos or discovering it for the first time, this issue serves as an accessible and thrilling starting point.
Starslayer #1 – 1992 also holds significance for collectors interested in indie comic revivals and transitional titles from publishers like Acclaim/Valiant, known for breathing new life into lesser-known properties. This issue remains a compelling blend of cosmic adventure, time-travel themes, and swashbuckling spirit.
To ensure it reaches you in excellent condition, this comic is placed in a crystal-clear, acid-free protective sleeve, with a supportive backing board to prevent bending. It is then carefully packed in a reinforced, fold-over book mailer designed for maximum protection during shipping. Quick dispatch and reliable, secure packaging are standard with every order.
Whether you're expanding a vintage sci-fi collection, intrigued by time-travelling warriors, or drawn to indie comic legends of the 1990s, Starslayer: The Log of the Jolly Roger #1 – 1992 is a distinctive addition with enduring cult appeal.
