I'm going with Dreadstar. But I do love his Death of Captain Marvel.

And while short, his Thanos run was brilliantly hilarious.

Warlock by a mile - that comic had such a massive influence on childhood me. I still love it to death.

It took me years to get all the issues and finally read the whole story. the first couple of issues I had were in french ( black and white).
The first time I ever walked into a real comic book store I found some Baxter Paper compilation editions of Warlock and I was hooked on comics again.

I originally read them in reprint form (Aussie B&W ones), and was stunned when I first saw the 'real' ones in colour.

I've only read Cosmic Odyssey, Death of New Gods and Marvel: The End. That was enough to leave with little desire to look further into his work.

Too bad Starlin couldn't have been the regular artist on Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes. That "three"-parter that he did was awesome. Very few artist can draw fighting as dynamic as this.

I voted Dreadstar too, which means that he should have three votes right now.

I'm reading the Avengers vs Thanos trade right now, though I have the comics. It's really Starlin's Captain Marvel, then Warlock vs Thanos. Great stuff! Flameboy is correct, nobody does fighting scenes like Starlin. I love his work and voted for Dreadstar and a complete work.

I like the one he did where the villain was that oversized pasty-skinned guy...

Warlock is his best, but my personal favorite is that three-parter he did in DC Comics Presents:

I met him at a con years ago. I told him my Dad loved Dreadstar and the religious overtones of the story. He didn't quilte know what to make of that. I have to say he is an influence on my work.
