ABOUT

The classic galaxy-spanning comic series has been a renowned stage play, audio drama, and now, the setting for a tabletop RPG actual play series!

Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey brings the universe of Starstruck to the popular TTRPG actual play show, Dropout.tv's Dimension 20. Created and hosted by writer Elaine Lee's son, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Dimension 20: A Starstruck Odyssey is an 18-episode adventure that brings all of the chaos, wit, and heart of the Starstruck comic series to the world of RPGs. Featuring the cast of previous Dimension 20 seasons such as Fantasy High and The Unsleeping City, A Starstruck Odyssey will begin airing in January 2022.

This comprehensive Starstruck collection presents the material on which the Dimension 20 season is based in a grand, oversized edition. This beautiful book features some of the finest art ever put to paper by artist Michael Kaluta, including many pages that were never printed in the original run. Additionally, Kaluta painstakingly added approximately 20% of art to nearly every page to ensure the aspect ratio of the comic would be consistent and correct. The end result is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced—a head-spinning, synapse-snapping, soul-searing ride to a world like no other… the world of Starstruck!

Collects all 13 issues of the completely remastered series by Elaine Lee and Michael Kaluta! That's 360-pages of Starstruck and Galactic Girl Guides adventures, covers, pin-ups, glossary, postcards, and so much more.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
