Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Here comes "Freedom Never Dies" from Starfire #7 (May 1977). This would be the final ish of writer Steve Englehart's two-part fill-in, as well as editor Jack C. Harris' final ish as editor, so lots and lots of plots and subplots and mysteries are tied up in this ish, leaving room for incoming editor Denny O'Neil and incoming writer Tom DeFalco to take Starfire and company in whatever direction they wished. How did that turn out? We'll find out in the near future, baby. For now, dig on "Freedom Never Dies"!
