Seems like a poorly thought out law, but that&#8217;s what they have.\u00a0 Gavyn of course is passed over for the throne in favour of his sister, but clearly found a greater destiny after being blown out of an airlock into the vacuum of outer space.<\/p>\n<div>I really like this chapter, Levitz does a lot of world-building, deeply rooted in genre tropes but still fresh and imaginative, and I think the art team of Ditko and Tanghal really start to click on this chapter.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgHBLCHD6zCZRtmTMXMEA5upzCzzwqgB-wA_4eDUSVQ2_TAH0JvILuy0T8rIPxVpn3ixmTvMynTaiNdyndkMdupnpnZwMItBqwbXvWWjET8a2J9KedsdD8h80DWrJoxg2NB29CEWA\/s1600\/Adventure+Comics+%2523469+%255B1980%255Db.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgHBLCHD6zCZRtmTMXMEA5upzCzzwqgB-wA_4eDUSVQ2_TAH0JvILuy0T8rIPxVpn3ixmTvMynTaiNdyndkMdupnpnZwMItBqwbXvWWjET8a2J9KedsdD8h80DWrJoxg2NB29CEWA\/s640\/Adventure+Comics+%2523469+%255B1980%255Db.JPG\" width=\"428\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adventure Comics #469 [1980] features the 9-page third (of twelve) chapter of the Levitz\/Ditko\/Tanghal Starman series, &#8220;Death In A Dark-Starred Void&#8221;.\u00a0 This was actually the last chapter of the story I read, as I first got chapter 2, got the book regularly from chapter 4 to 12 and had to later find 1 and 3 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":344532,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[113145,110918,148189],"tags":[3164,9458,107348],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-344531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-113145","category-dc","category-starman","tag-adventure","tag-comics","tag-ditko"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
