If so, it's probably something that Joe Sinnott could have enhanced a bit, though I can't offhand think of any examples where he's been known to render his finishes in that way. Generally, his scenes are rather well-lit.<br /><br />If memory serves, Colin, Starcore One is more than a simple early warning system--it was put into orbit to conduct studies on the sun, which would certainly give Peter Corbeau something to do with his time when there were lulls in flare activity.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-88659382636889856292016-06-23T10:36:10.826-04:002016-06-23T10:36:10.826-04:00Yay, Starcore One - like Kala's Netherworld it...Yay, Starcore One - like Kala's Netherworld it had excellent air conditioning. But, really ? All that money to build a station for warning about solar flares - the last really big solar flare was back in about 1860 which played havoc with the early telegraph system. Massive Earth-threatening flares are extremely rare so life on Starcore One must be pretty dull - and if a massive flare was on its' way to Earth what would we do about it anyway ?
