Popular Super7 Figure, PHANTOM STARKILLER, Earns Series at Scout Comics
August 18, 2020The popular Super7/Killer Bootlegs action figure, Phantom Starkiller, has landed a comic book series, courtesy of the Scout Comics imprint, Black Caravan, which will be helmed by creator, Peter Goral and artist, Joseph Schmalke.
The series centers on the titular character, the Cosmic Ghoul Warrior, who is in search of the Cryptocrystalline Stone, while navigating the blackness of space. As dark forces conspire to resurrect a legion of deathless warriors, he must serve the Phantom Starkiller in fulfilling his master’s wishes, but all while plotting his revenge in looking to destroy the stone and break the curse.
“I’m so excited for fans around the globe to Finally have the chance to explore the world of Phantom Starkiller! For over a decade, I have been fleshing out this universe through action figures, toys and other merchandise, all the while, hinting at a much larger world through the stories printed on the backside of their packaging,” said Goral. “Now, thanks to the team at Scout Comics, Black Caravan and Joseph Schmalke, I am able to dive deep into my psychedelic, sci-fi/horror fantasy in the way that I have always envisioned. I can’t wait for everyone to check out this book. No matter what you think you know about the Cosmic Ghoul Warrior, you’re going to be in for one hell of a wild ride!”
Phantom Starkiller #1 is currently expected to go on sale in October, while the exclusive 8-page ashcan preview is available now. If you’re looking for any of the variant action figures at Super7, you’ll have to take to eBay to find most of them at this point.
