A Matter of Necessity!
MARVEL PREVIEW — Issue no. 15, July 1978 / The “A” story in this issue of MARVEL PREVIEW magazine (which, as you might recall, is a black-and-white book aimed at older readers than Marvel’s standard color comic books of the 1970s) features Star-Lord. Star-Lord is pretty famous these days as a character in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but this ’70s version of him is more of a solo hero. Star-Lord’s partner in this story is “Ship,” his sentient space ship. We find out Ship’s backstory here, and it’s pretty wild. Before Ship was a space ship, she was a star. Not a movie star, but an actual star like the sun with planets and whatnot. But the star version of Ship was destroyed in some interplanetary war by some dudes with some kind of star-destroying bomb. Some time later Ship managed to recreate herself as a sentient space ship and join up with Star-Lord.
