Forty years ago, Air Force test pilot Duke McQueen saved the universe. Then he came home from a splendorous alien world, married his best girl, settled down, had two sons, and grew old. His stories of his journey across galaxies became the subject of whispered ridicule. But in STARLIGHT, the Image Comics graphic novel by superstar comics writer Mark Millar (JUPITER'S LEGACY, Kick-Ass) and artist Goran Parlov, Duke - alone after his sons leave home and his wife dies - gets a message from space: the Universe needs a hero again.

A sweeping science fiction epic, STARLIGHT features Millar's most heartfelt storytelling to date, while Parlov depicts with equal skill a dazzling alien planet and and old man's loneliness with his gorgeous, Moebius-esque art. Duke is returning to Tantalus a legendary hero, but is he still the man he was forty years ago?
