DetailsWelcome back to another Fabulous Find. I’m your host, Greg Turner, and this week I bring you a companion post to the Fabulous Find from two weeks ago.

DetailsThis week for my Fabulous Find, I’m shining the light on Star*Reach # 1. It’s from Star*Reach Productions and it’s dated April 1974. As far as I know, Star*Reach Productions was Mike Friedrich, and Mike Friedrich was Star*Reach Productions. But please correct me if I’m wrong. So what is Star*Reach? A regular comic? An underground comic?…
