5 issue mini-series, published by Kitchen Sink Press
First conceptualized in the late 1970s, Captain Sternn was developed by artist Bernie Wrightson during his time at The Studio. The character's first published adventure was developed on spec for Heavy Metal Magazine.
Captain Sternn is considered "part Han Solo, part James Garner from The Great Escape". The character, as written by Wrightson, is an amoral space captain whose adventures are set in the future. Sternn is sometimes considered a criminal with charges ranging from rape to piracy.
He is associated with supporting characters Hanover Fiste and Justin Tyme.
He is drawn as a caricature of Superman, although his clothing is different; he wears a pseudo-military uniform. He is always accompanied by a small, levitating one-eyed robot, named Beezer, that is his most faithful companion.
Some of you may remember Captain Sternn from the Heavy Metal movie, or hey, you might even remember him from the actual Heavy Metal magazine from way back when. The character of Captain Sternn was the focus of the segment "Captain Sternn" of the 1981 film Heavy Metal. In this film adaptation he was voiced by Eugene Levy
Fantastic Art, Ridiculous Story, just the way it should be for a Captain Sternn series.
Although better known for his more serious artstyle, it's great to see this lighter side of Bernie Wrightson.

A weird ass, fun comic that gets a bit too slow at the end for me. Somewhat a bit too cliche almost with some fairly one dimensional characters but I do enjoy the majority of it and it looks very nice too.
7/10. Fun weird ass sci-fi comic.
