Which Starman is your favourite?

Every time I hear a Bowie song from that era now, I associate it with the fantastic british version of Life on Mars which used his music really well.

Me too! And the US version, which did a whole episode on the "Starman" rock singer!
What a great show, both of them!

I wasn't crazy over the tv series with hayes but still watched it.

I never read that Starman series. Was Payton's sister a part of the supporting cast of that book? What was her character like?

They introduced a character named Sadie in the Jack Knight series, who turned out to be Payton's sister. She sends him into space looking for Payton, and when he finds him, I think it was revealed that Payton had died and the superhero everyone thought was Payton was actually Prince Gavyn (the Ditko Starman).

Yes she was a supporting cast in that book too. The prince Gayn angle makes sense since a big part of Peyton's power was the ability to reconfigure his face (at one point he resembles a Hawaian Ferrari driving PI) and his hero persona was basically his normal face with an almost native american hue and blank eyes

not a bad run but again it's stroy format is older and less adult than you might want now (think of the 90's GL series in the first 30 issues before evil Hal)
