Space Hero Saturdays STAR HUNTERS "Part 1: The Farrell Alternative" Conclusion

...swashbucking Donovan Flint, after single-handedly rescuing a vital Earth-bound shipment of fresh food from space pirates, is invited to a meeting with Director Farrell of The Corporation.
But when he arrives, the smiling rogue discovers getting out will be much harder than getting in...
We want to apologize for this post being a week late.
This was supposed to appear last week, and Jumpin' Jupiter was supposed to appear this week.
But the birth of my first grand-niece took priority and my assistant couldn't follow my terrible handwriting on a post-it about which post went when and things went "futzy"!
Note about this story...though this never-reprinted tale appeared in the double-sized DC Super-Stars V2 #18 (1977), it's actually the first of two regular-sized issues of the proposed series which were cobbled together.
You'll see the other one in the near-future...and this time on the correct order!

Space Hero Saturdays STAR HUNTERS Intro and "Part 1: The Farrell Alternative"

In the mid-1970s, tv/movie sci-fi experienced a revival...
...and comics, as they had done since the late 1940s, jumped on the pop culture bandwagon!
But, instead of doing adaptations of popular shows like Space: 1999 (Charlton), or movies like Star Wars (Marvel), DC decided to do a couple of original series using talented, young, up-and-coming creatives.
One of them was The Survivors...I mean The Outcasts...er, make that Donovan Flint: StarHunter...or finally, The Star Hunters!
Here's the explanation of how the project came about, from DC Super-Stars V2N18 (1977)...
And now, from that never-reprinted issue...
To Be Continued...
NEXT SATURDAY!
