Stephanie Starr in In The Light Of Future Days. . . by Mike Friedrich and Dick Giordano.
I wasn't planning on posting this for quite a while yet, but last night I learned of the death of the great Dick Giordano, and, well, here it is. There's nothing much I can add to the many tributes paid to Dick over the internet, but I would like to say that I can't think of any other artist who so completely embraces the world of comics that I read as a kid, and, hey, he drew a great Black Canary. Dick Giordano was/is what they mean when they talk about a true legend of the comics, and our little corner of fandom is smaller now for his passing.

And as fine he was as an artist, as an embellisher, I'll remember him most fondly as DC's last truly great leader. The people in charge of the big mainstream comic companies these days should look on his legacy as an editor-in-chief and shudder.
Great to see this again. I could be misremembering, but I think this is the "cleaned up" version. The original version in Star*Reach had more toplessness.
Wow! This is fantastic! I somehow never saw this before. Thank you for posting it, Joe.
This art is just beautiful!
Joe, I have been looking everywhere on your pages for some great comic strips you posted : they are in a mid 60's "Romance Comic" kitsch style. I read 'em last year on your pages, but I can't find them on your site now, or remember the artists.
Any ideas? I think the artist was a Japanese American?
Gnostic.
any chance you could be a wee bit more specific there, Gnostic, mate? there's a HELLUVA lot of comics 'round these parts. anything else you can remember about them at all?
Tom K Mason is right, of course; when Star*Reach was first published it was as an attempt to "legitimatize" underground comics, so there was more topless scenes, as well as uncovered frontal nudity. Alas, when reprinted the new editors wanted more cover up, in order to appease the feminists.
damn those feminists!
very classic, great compositions..
thnaks u.
