The stirring story of Star-Lord! Before Peter Quill was a Guardian of the Galaxy, he was…an astronaut! Or at least he wanted to be. But as NASA's biggest burnout, Quill seemed destined to stay grounded on Earth. Now, discover how he finally journeyed out into the galaxy! But getting off-world is one thing - surviving is another. Especially when Yondu and his space pirates find him! Plus: Relive Star-Lord's pre-Guardians adventures: teaming with Thanos of Titan against a cosmic threat lurking in a galactic prison - and meeting Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Mantis on a high-stakes mission against the techno-organic Phalanx! But what deadly secrets lurk in Quill's past on Earth, and what will they mean for his future in space? Collecting STAR-LORD (2015) #1-5, THANOS (2003) #7-12, ANNIHILATION: CONQUEST - STARLORD #1-4 and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2013) #0.1.
Los Angeles-based writer and photographer Sam Humphries made his Marvel debut on John Carter: Gods of Mars with artist Ramón Pérez. His diverse range of other credits include Our Love Is Real, a sci-fi love story with artist Steven Sanders; Sacrifice with artist Dalton Rose; and Fraggle Rock. Humphries took on Ultimate Comics Ultimates, Uncanny X-Force and Avengers A.I. before launching the Legendary Star-Lord into his own solo series of the same name.

The Marvel Preview series “The Sword and The Star” was not only Rocket Raccoon’s first appearance, but Keith Giffen’s first published work. He moved into more mainstream titles with Defenders, penciling the adventures of the infamous non-team during some of its most nontraditional storylines. It was at DC, however, that he achieved his greatest recognition with creations Ambush Bug, an irreverent wannabe hero who tackled the comics industry itself, and alien mercenary Lobo, who was meant as an indictment of the violent vigilante genre, but became its most extreme success story. In addition to famed stints on Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League, he also wrote X-O Manowar and Magnus, Robot Fighter for Valiant Comics, and adapted mangas Battle Royale and Ikki Tousen into English. He has played a vital role in cosmic crossovers at both Marvel and DC, writing Annihilation tie-ins for the former, and penciling 52 and Countdown to Final Crisis for the latter.

Spanish artist Javier Garrón studied architecture before his work on webcomics and blogs got the attention of DC comics. He went on to draw Batman Eternal, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse, Batgirl: Future's End and more. Garron made his Marvel debut with Cyclops in 2014. 

After establishing himself on Eternity’s Ex-Mutants and First’s Badger, Ron Lim went cosmic with a six-year penciling run on Silver Surfer, followed by collaboration with Jim Starlin on the Warlock/Thanos Infinity multi-miniseries saga. With writer Tom DeFalco, he helped create the look and characters of the MC2 universe, while he explored a different Marvel future during a 35-issue run on X-Men 2099. Lim’s other Marvel credits include Captain America, Spider-Man Unlimited and Venom: Lethal Protector.
