Captain Sternn

Captain Sternn

Captain Lincoln F. Sternn is an American comic book character first published in "Heavy Metal Magazine" during the 1980s.

Personality

Captain Sternn is considered "part Han Solo, part James Garner from "The Great Escape". [http://www.captainsternn.com/birthofsternn.html captainsternn.com] ] The character, as written by Wrightson, is an amoral space captain whose adventures are set in the future. Sternn is sometimes considered a criminal with charges ranging from rape to piracy.

He is associated with supporting characters Hanover Fiste and Justin Tyme.

He is drawn as a caricature of Superman, although his clothing is different; he wears a pseudo-military uniform. He is always accompanied by a small, levitating one-eyed robot that is his most faithful companion.

Creation

First conceptualized in the late 1970s, Captain Sternn was developed by artist Bernie Wrightson during his time at The Studio. The character's first published adventure was developed on spec for "Heavy Metal Magazine".
