Someone mentioned on that old DCMB thread I reposted on the first page an aborted SPACE RANGER limited series by Michael Jan Friedman. I saw a few more references to it while I was reading the 1980s STARMAN series (the lame one). Here's something I found on a webpage somewhere, that took the text from a DC previews mag:

Quote:

Projecting ahead into the future--the DC Universe's future, that is--October will witness the release of the first issue of a n 8-issue maxiseries reintroducing the SPACE RANGER into the limelight. This series, by writer Michael Jan Friedman (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, penciller John Calimee (STARMAN, Nexus), and editor Paul Kupperberg, features the story of how spoiled rich kid Rick Starr becomes Space Ranger during his struggle against a covert alien plot for control of Earth in the 23rd century.




I'm actually kinda sad now that this miniseries never saw the light of day. I like seeing more of DC's non-superhero properties being used in starring roles.
