Arne Starr

Artist/Illustrator Arne Starr has been drawing pictures ever since he graduated from Pratt/Phoenix, a division of Pratt Institute, many, many moons ago. He worked for such diverse companies and publications as Anacin, Con Edison, Scholastic, Weekly Reader, Analog and ST-Log magazines and many more.

Has been art Director and even ran his own agency in CT. But he's probably more well known, after graduating from assistant to Dick Giordano to his own books, as the longest running artist to work on Star Trek comics. Along the way worked on most of the DC characters as well, from Superman to Batman to Green Lantern and many more. And he also worked away from DC Comics over at First with Nexus and over at Marvel on various Spider-man books. He was also the head of the Science Fiction Media Roundtable on the former GEnie, where Babylon 5 first saw light. Those connections allowed him to arrange Joe Straczynski's first comic work through Bob Greenberger on the DC Trek comic.

Who knew.... Also in doing Trek conventions for the last dozen or more years, as they'll only bring you in once as a comic guest, he reinvented himself as a film promoter and has been doing that at every con ever since, with the help of Jeff Walker and others, he gets to show all the latest previews/trailers and sometimes even more. Those posters/buttons and stuff are always fun to give way. And also courtesy of those conventions , Arne joined the late Mark Lenard's Master Acting Class in NY and has done may plays since, most recently finishing a run of the Odd Couple in the Orlando area as the card player Speed.
