Dreadstar Returns, wherein King Plunddo Tram features, is aiming to launch later this year. Starlin also talked about his character and the inspiration behind bringing the character to live. He said, “I actually went back to rewrite the script around those pages because King Plunddo Tram wasn’t quite as despicable as I wanted him to be. I went back and got worse with it.”

It wouldn’t come as a surprise if Donald Trump would take it as a compliment. Earlier, his campaign had tweeted a video showing Trump’s face superimposed over Thanos.

Jim Starlin soon slammed the campaign team and pointed out the irony the campaign equating Trump to the mass-murdering villain. Thanos, which was created in the 1970s, is a supervillain best known for wiping out half of all life in the universe with a snap of his fingers.
