Before Walter Simonson's work with Marvel
and DC, there was Star Slammers, a series first devised by Simonson during his
college days. The Slammers would later be resurrected as a Marvel graphic novel,
and then a miniseries. Simonson describes it thus: "Once upon a time, there was
a race of men who could out-shoot, out-fight, and out-kill anybody. They were
paid fabulous sums to act as mercenaries. The practice became so lucrative, they
decided to go into business. They became the most successful businessmen in
history, and they called themselves...The Star
Slammers!"
The collected Star
Slammers also features-published here for the very first time-Simonson's
earliest version of the Slammers created for his college thesis at the Rhode
Island School of Design. These stories predate his first professional comics
work but strongly show the artist's keen sense of composition and
design.
