Comments:
Starman's encounter with Jarko the Jovian Space Pirate takes place in 2152 during one of their time-jumps. They will later encounter him in their own time making this his last recorded appearance.
The versions of the story told by Space Ranger and Ultra feature the characters in ways that make their versions extremely improbable and therefore the characters only appearaing in their versions have been noted as cameos.
While Space Cabby's version of the story seem probably all three versions of the story could be imaginary and even the continuity of the framing story is dubious at best.
Synopsis:
Space Cabbie, Space Ranger, and Ultra the Multi-Alien tell three different versions of a tale about how Starmen Jack and Mikaal save a time-displaced Starfire from the clutches of Jarko the Jovian.
