Section compiled
by Jeremy Briggs (With thanks to Shaqui LeVesconte and Richard Sheaf)
Starblazer was translated into French and published
in France throughout the 1980s in various digest sized bandes dessinees
albums which also reprinted other British material.
Starting in the title Force X (Force
X being the French name for 2000AD’s MACH
One) the Starblazer reprints
then moved into Collection Super Force before
beginning a long run in the title Antares.
Other British strips in Antares included
Valiant’s The
Leopard Of Lime Street.
The final run of French
Starblazer stories
was in the title Janus Stark. Since these
titles were anthologies Starblazer did
not always make the cover and, when it did, the original DC Thomson
covers were normally redrawn into a four colour format. The cover
of Force X issue 1 was a redrawn version
of the cover of Starblazer issue 5.
Some
of these individual issues were also combined into special albums
such as the first Collection Super Force Album which
reused the cover from Collection Super Force Issue
2, which was a redrawn version of issue 21 of British Starblazer.

reprinted Starblazer can
