Starstruck Deluxe Anniversary Edition

Revisit the classic galaxy-spanning comic series in this new anniversary edition!

THE COMIC-BOOK UNIVERSE THAT INSPIRED DIMENSION 20’S A STARSTRUCK ODYSSEY!

Before the Wurst took flight, before the Gunner Channel began rolling up the hill, and before Dimension 20 blasted off on one of its wildest adventures ever, there was STARSTRUCK—the groundbreaking, genre-bending science-fiction epic created by writer Elaine Lee and legendary artist Michael Kaluta.

Elaine Lee’s son, writer and Game Master Brennan Lee Mulligan, brought the Starstruck universe to an entirely new generation with Dropout’s Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey. The acclaimed 18-episode campaign sent Dimension 20’s Intrepid Heroes, Emily Axford, Ally Beardsley, Brian Murphy, Zac Oyama, Siobhan Thompson, and Lou Wilson hurtling through the anarchic, hilarious, dangerous, and endlessly inventive universe first created by Lee and Kaluta.

Now re-discover the comics that started it all.

This massive, oversized collection presents the extraordinary source material that inspired A Starstruck Odyssey in a definitive edition worthy of the galaxy it created.

A massive 360+ pages of STARSTRUCK history and adventure! This definitive collection brings together all 13 issues of the completely remastered series by Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta, plus Galactic Girl Guides adventures, covers, pin-ups, a glossary, postcards, and much more.

And for Dimension 20 fans, there’s even more: a foreword by Brennan Lee Mulligan and an exclusive Q&A with Brennan and Elaine Lee, connecting the original comic-book universe with the unforgettable world of A Starstruck Odyssey.

Whether you discovered the galaxy through the original comics or climbed aboard the Wurst with Dimension 20, this is where the whole wild, weird, wonderful adventure began.
