Space Ranger (Rick Starr) is a science fiction hero who was published by American company DC Comics in several of their 1950s and 1960s anthology titles. He first appeared in ''Showcase'' #15 (July 1958) and was created by writers Edmond Hamilton and Gardner Fox and artist Bob Brown. The character has notable similarities to a preceding character named David "Lucky" Starr, created by novelist Isaac Asimov in his 1952 novel ''David Starr, Space Ranger''. After appearing in ''Showcase'' #15 and 16, the Space Ranger was given a cover-starring series in ''Tales of the Unexpected'', starting with issue #40 and lasting until #82 (1959–64). Afterward, he moved to ''Mystery in Space''.
