Format was two strips per page, 80 pages per issue. They wre great! So at a convention where Ron Goulart was in attendance, I got him to autograph these books, and he told me that he had never seen them- in fact- the strip was being published without permission, and no arrangement for these reprints had been authorized... sad to say, I'm the reason the Blackthorne editions disappeared!<br />Happy to report now, of course, that new editions of STAR HAWKS are available!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-15072691251530705292011-12-29T21:05:45.270-05:002011-12-29T21:05:45.270-05:00Does anyone have the Blackthorne Star Hawks reprin...Does anyone have the Blackthorne Star Hawks reprints? Do you know the dimensions of the books and page counts? And how many strips per page (and dimensions)? I'm trying to figure out if those books print the strips larger than the Hermes Press or Ace/Tempo editions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-85410950736762131872011-09-20T12:28:39.140-04:002011-09-20T12:28:39.140-04:00I have been a Star Hawks fan from Day 1.

I have the Hermes hardcover and must agree that it did not live up to it's potential. They insisted on publishing the entire collection in one volume, thereby running each strip in too small of a format. I would have gladly paid twice as much to have them split it into two volumes and double the size of each strip. Get it if you can buy it at a discount, but don't pay full price.Average Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06428266304469075442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-69207938986578876722011-08-28T01:18:25.975-04:002011-08-28T01:18:25.975-04:00Great post, Christopher.

(Btw, Howard Chaykin's Cody Starbuck--a tad earlier but kinda similar--might make a good topic for a future post.)Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-9909114441616713232011-08-24T23:25:01.056-04:002011-08-24T23:25:01.056-04:00I had two issues of the Star Hawks comic book, whi...I had two issues of the Star Hawks comic book, which was essentially reprinting the daily strips in color.

The only science fiction strip that aired in my local papers was the Star Trek one, which started right after The Motion Picture. I didn't see Goodwin's Star Wars strip, but I did enjoy his run on the monthly SW comic from Marvel.<br /><br />This looks really, really awesome. I love the splashy cover of the Comic Reader, he really looks like James Coburn!<br /><br />Thanks for post...another cool thing to try and track down!<br /><br />Gordon LongPDXWizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884427889989897626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3893206653438189717.post-60454113133776724782011-08-24T17:48:48.304-04:002011-08-24T17:48:48.304-04:00Very Nice!
