Written by Creator/ElliotSMaggin and painted by Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, it was the first title in the DC Graphic Novel series. The story follows Jedediah Poole and Tomorrow "Tommy" Hardtack, two human adventurers who find a desolate planet with the Star Raider, a small, nimble, and ''very'' powerful spaceship. Aided by Zeke Vicker, the planet's only survivor, Poole and Hardtack decide to start a rebellion against the tyrannical Zylons who have conquered the galaxy.

According to [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2010/09/17/comic-book-legends-revealed-278/ Comic Book Resources]], the story was originally intended as a 120-page-long limited series. Unfortunately, due to TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983, Atari canceled the deal with DC Comics midway through development. With 40 pages already completed, DC decided to cut its losses by commissioning an additional 20 pages to finish the story, then released it as a single volume.
