From the creator of the cult-classic Captain Star TV cartoon series: the first collection of comic strips tracing the strange but illustrious career of Captain Jim Star - the greatest hero any world has ever known - from its surreal beginnings to its improbable middle. Witness his triumphs, learn from his words of wisdom, and meet his crew on the Boiling Hell, Navigator Black, Officer Scarlette, and Atomic Engine Stoker "Limbs" Jones.

"Sheer poetry! Steven Appleby spins an epic saga of men whose touchiness shook the universe, and the women who were indifferent to them..." -Alan Moore, author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta
