Star*Reach #6 (Oct., 1976). Cover Art by Jeff Jones.
“Star*Reach” was an influential American science fiction and fantasy comics anthology published from 1974 to 1979 by Mike Friedrich. One of the first mainstream independent comic books, “Star*Reach” bridged the gap between the countercultural underground comics and traditional Marvel/DC Comics fare, providing mature genre stories for an adult audience. The fan press of the time referred to this and the magazine “Heavy Metal” as "ground-level publications.” “Star*Reach” was a forerunner of the late-1970s rise of the modern graphic novel, and of the 1980s' independent comics.
