As this year marks the 40th anniversary of the short-lived Starlord weekly from 1978, I thought I'd run a gallery of all 22 covers. I've scanned them from my own comic collection, and the art credits (where I didn't recognise them) are from sources online.
If you didn't already know, Starlord was launched as a slicker companion comic to 2000AD, and introduced us to Strontium Dog and Ro-Busters; characters that are still around today. After just 22 weeks, Starlord merged into 2000AD, but it's still remembered as one of the best comics of its day.

There was also a Starlord Summer Special published in 1978 while the weekly was still in circulation...
As a bonus, here are the free gifts from the first three issues of the weekly...
The free foil badge was designed by Kevin O'Neill and there were six to collect, each one randomly attached to the front cover.
Issue 2 gave away a cardboard slide that revealed info on the planets...
Issue 3 presented Starlord's equivalent of the old 'Battleships' game...
