What can we say about Metamorphosis Odyssey? This is why Guttenberg invented the printing press! It’s what the ancient Egyptians hoped for when they first put words and pictures together on a piece of papyrus! The Iliad? A warm-up. Beowulf? Amateurs. The Brothers Karamazov? Not even close. So read it, buy it, and store 1000 copies in a weatherproof, impact-resistant time capsule for future generations.

Collector’s Guide:
If you must have it all, you need Epic Illustrated #1-9 plus #15, The Price graphic novel (or Dreadstar Annual #1), and the Dreadstar graphic novel. That sets you up for Dreadstar #1-26 at Epic and #27-40 at First Comics.

Whoa! There goes the kids’ college fund! But don’t worry: You can read the 10-page “Cliff Notes” version at Planets Disappeared In Atomic Infernos! You’ll also enjoy the chapter where Oedi and Dreadstar first meet Willow.

Now get ready for action!

This is the final chapter of Metamorphosis Odyssey to appear in Epic Illustrated. From here, Jim Starlin launched the ongoing Dreadstar series. You learn more of the origin of Willow in Dreadstar #2. Here, Oedi (the cat man) and Vanth Dreadstar run into a spot of trouble on a mission. Vanth shows us – and Willow – a little something about the power of believing in yourself.

Collector’s Guide: From Epic Illustrated #15. If you must have it all, you need Epic Illustrated #1-9 plus #15, The Price graphic novel (or Dreadstar Annual #1), and the Dreadstar graphic novel. That sets you up for Dreadstar #1-26 at Epic and #27-40 at First Comics.

It’s no secret Dreadstar is our favorite story of all time. We got hooked by the six-issue reprint Dreadstar and Company, right off the newstand at the drugstore. Then we graduated to the direct market series Dreadstar on high quality paper and chronicling our heroes’ further efforts to stop a centuries-old galactic war. Later, the series moved to First Comics. Our heroes finally saved the galaxy — only to have the rug pulled out from under them again! Brutal!

In this excerpt, Vanth tells his comrades about his previous experience with galactic war. It did not have a happy ending! SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE MILKY WAY GALAXY! Jim Starlin summarizes the chapters of Metamorphosis Odyssey serialized in Epic Illustrated #1-9 in Vanth’s flashback here.

If you’d like to read the first few awe-inspiring installments of the original black-and-white series, click Metamorphosis Odyssey.
