Jim Starlin is a name that really doesn't need an introduction - but we'll give one anyway. Thanos, Gamora, Dreadstar, Shang-Chi, Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock ... Starlin has had a hand in creating, co-creating or revamping some of the biggest characters and is responsible for some of the most iconic storylines in comic book history: Infinity Gauntlet and Death In The Family just to name two.On April 14, in conjunction with the fine folks at Ominous Press, Starlin launch a brand new Kickstarter project - Dreadstar Returns: the first all-new Vanth Dreadstar adventure in 3 decades. How well was it received? Well, the 100-page brand new graphic novel hit its funding target in just 14 short hours. With over a week still to go (as at the time of this recording), the project has blasted through all stretch goals and is now about hit the USD$100,000 mark.Jim was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to chat with us about many things including the story behind this new Kickstarter project, which current industry talent he'd like to work with, and what he does to help deal with a missing creative muse. Plus he reveals just why he hates Walt Simonson. Which we're sure is a friendly grudge. We hope.

You’ve still got time to support the project, especially with all stretch goals well and truly covered. Check out all the options on the project’s Kickstarter page.

And finally, a shout out to Jamie Jameson - while all will be revealed in the interview, we wanted to wish her a full and speedy recovery.
