Where it came from
Starman #28, published by DC Comics in March 1997, serves as a pivotal installment in James Robinson’s celebrated run on the title. Set within the atmospheric backdrop of Opal City, the issue explores the internal conflicts of Jack Knight, a reluctant hero who struggles with his legacy and his responsibilities to his father, Ted Knight. This era of the series is widely regarded for its grounded, character-driven narrative that subverted traditional superhero tropes.
The issue features artwork by Peter Snejbjerg, whose clean lines and moody, cinematic compositions became a signature aesthetic for the series. Robinson and his collaborators aimed for a literary approach, heavily influenced by pulp fiction and noir sensibilities. Upon release, the series received significant critical acclaim for its consistent tone and character development, solidifying its place as a definitive cult classic within the DC Universe of the 1990s.
