About this ebook

Jim Starlin’s Space Fantasy Masterpiece!

The definitive Dreadstar collection begins here, remastered for a new generation!


The spiraled arms of the Milky Way embrace hundreds of billions of stars, planets, and Earth—the little blue dot we call home. But humans aren’t the only inhabitants of this swirling galactic disc, it’s also given rise to a number of beautiful and terrible alien species—one of which is so dangerous, so destructive, and so inevitable that the only way to save the universe is to DESTROY THE MILKY WAY.

Vanth Dreadstar, last survivor of the Milky Way, has been tasked with safeguarding the future from the same fate that befell our galaxy. His crew, a cyborg sorcerer Syzygy Darklock, cybernetic telepath Willow, cat-like humanoid Oedi, and the freebooter Skeevo, are the universe’s unlikely protectors.

From the mind of comics icon Jim Starlin (Infinity Gauntlet, Captain Marvel, Warlock), creator of Thanos, Drax, Gamora, and many more, comes an eon-spanning space fantasy—remastered and collected from the very beginning in this, the first of three definitive tomes!

This volume collects the Metamorphosis Odyssey, The Price, the Dreadstar original graphic novel, Epic Illustrated #15, Dreadstar #1-#8, and the short story Prayer.
