Cosmic Odyssey was first published by DC Comics from 1988 to 1989 as a four-issue prestige-format comic book miniseries. It was later released in a single-volume graphic novel format by DC Comics in 1992. Cosmic Odyssey was an early part of a recurrent practice at DC Comics to gather numerous superheroes together in a crossover miniseries. The writer of Cosmic Odyssey, Jim Starlin, had illustrated and written numerous comic book series for both DC Comics and Marvel Comics since the early 1970’s. At the time of the writing of Cosmic Odyssey, Starlin was best known for his work on Captain Marvel during the 1970’s and on the “Metamorphosis Odyssey” story line in Epic Illustrated for Marvel Comics during the 1980’s. By the time of the writing of Cosmic Odyssey Starlin had largely transitioned to working primarily as a scripter rather than an illustrator. The artist, Mike Mignola, had a fairly limited background prior to Cosmic Odyssey, having worked primarily as an inker and artist for low-profile series such as Rocket Raccoon (1985), Alpha Flight (1983-1994), and The Hulk (during the 1980’s). |
