Starman: 20 years gone

A recent pull of boxes from my comic closet led to my re-reading Starman. No, not the 1990's Jack Knight Starman, but the 1988 Will Payton Starman, one of the great underused and underappreciated characters in the DC pantheon (indeed, the dismissive treatment Mr. Payton got from writer James Robinson was one of my few strikes against his generally, er, stellar run on the Jack Knight version). Almost entirely unavailable, Roger Stern's and Tom Lyle's 25 issue run is a lost gem.
