In movies, there's Star Wars. In TV (but also movies), there's Star Trek. And in comics, there's Star*Reach. That highly influential independent comic book anthology was the brainchild of today's guest, Mike Friedrich. The forerunner of indie comics that proliferated in the 80s, Star*Reach published 18 issues in the mid 70s, and is fondly remembered for its envelope-pushing style. Mike was also a prolific writer for mainstream comics in the Silver Age. At DC, where he got his start under Julie Schwartz, Mike wrote for such titles as Challengers of the Unknown, Detective Comics, The Flash, and Teen Titans. At Marvel, he scripted Iron Man, Captain America, and Captain Marvel, among others, and helped introduce Thanos and Drax the Destroyer. The guy's a legit legend, ok? Listen up.
