#13may

Starlord No. 1, dated 13 May 1978. Cover by Ramon Sola. Below are the six different 'Star-Trooper' badges, one of which came free with each issue. They were designed by Kevin O'Neill. I didn't get the first issue. It was either beyond my budget at the time or I just couldn't find one but sadly it meant I can never lay claim to being a Laser Specialist or in the Skateboard Strike Force. I was a Warlord agent at the time though so this would likely have been a conflict of interest anyway.

The first issue only had four stories (although they would soon be joined by a fifth - Mind Wars). Both Strontium Dog and Ro-Busters went on to have a long career in UK comics and I think Timequake might be in the pipeline to be reprinted soon by Hibernia Comics.
