There is one weapon in the galaxy more powerful than all others. Nothing is more coveted or feared, loved or hated. To dare possess it makes you a fool or madman - or, quite possibly, the right man! A mysterious encounter with an old stranger is about to leave Ken Connell as the latest to wield the power of the Star Brand! With this incredible tattoo come staggering abilities: flight, strength, near-invulnerability and the explosive force of an atom bomb. But it also attracts enemies: aliens seeking to claim the Star Brand for their own, nuke-toting terrorists - even other adventurers from this New Universe, like the armored Spitfire! Ken Connell can't even be a good boyfriend - could he possibly have it in him to be a hero?
Softcover, 320 pages, full color.
NOTE: "In 1986, Jim Shooter, John Romita, Jr. and their pals created one of the most highly underrated comic universes in the history of comics - The New Universe." - Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist
