Can still be sealed. By Tym Stevens, from his blog RockSex I often say STARSTRUCK is the greatest comic youve never read. And people say, Well, what is it exactly? (Or Who are you? or How does this relate to Rock or Sex? or Please respect the 100 feet distance from the restraining order, sir.) Lets do the Time Warp again STARSTRUCK began as a science fiction play performed off-Broadway in 1980. It was written by Elaine Lee, an Emmy-nominated actor on a popular TV soap opera, with her sister Susan Norfleet and Dale Place. Elaine played the wily hero Galatia 9 while Susan played her kickass partner Brucilla The Muscle. By chance the sisters had hooked up with renowned comics artist Michael Wm. Kaluta, who went from volunteering for the poster to designing the sets and costumes, and even building them with compatriot artist Charles Vess. STARSTRUCK was also created during the exploding late 70s/early 80s NYC scene, whose Do-It-Yourself spirit ignited the first Punk bands of CBGBs, the No Wave and Post Punk aftermath, the dawn of Hip Hop, the splicing of Mutant Disco, and a bristling Indie film movement. As part of this hybrid scene, which propelled itself, STARSTRUCK the play was as D.I.Y. with its wicked and absurdist humor, its sets and costumes collaged from street throwaways, and its upending of all conventions. Starlog magazine noticed enough to cover the ensuing madness of this demented semi-musical (Dec. 1980) and a portfolio of designs by Kaluta was released. But that was just the beginning.
