Starlord was a shortlived weekly British Science-Fiction comic published by IPC and edited by Pat Mills. Following the success of 2000 AD and with the fashion for Sci-Fi following the release of "Star Wars", Starlord's first issue was dated 13 May1978. The weekly title had eight colour pages and was printed on a higher quality paper stock giving better reproduction of the artwork.

Starlord withdraws from the shootfighting game as a respected and wealthy man. His elite-hood had first served him good to give him a nasty reputation but later it was almost forgotten when he joined the ranks of the "good guys" within the XWF.
Starlord can transform into a strange form of matter-energy which looks like a cloud of dark dense matter sprinkled with tiny burning sparks, very similar to stars in the night sky.
Starlord is able to project these two quite different energies, either as a stream of stars that sticks to the target and can keep burning for up to 30 seconds after impact, or as a cloud of choking, crushing, blinding darkness.
