Marvel Spotlight #6 (Volume 2), published in May 1980, is a major Bronze Age key issue featuring the first appearance of Star-Lord (Peter Quill) in a standard comic book format.

In Marvel Spotlight on Star-Lord #v2 #6, Star-Lord returns to the Master of the Sun just as the aliens who killed his mother are about to take him away for crimes against their people. Star-Lord fights back, but the Master refuses his help and agrees to go with the attackers, revealing himself to be Ragnar, the greatest of their scientists. He leaves his creation, Star-Lord, to accomplish the good he hoped to bring to the universe.

This variant features a traditional UPC barcode in the bottom left corner rather than the Spider-Man head or logo graphic found on Direct Market comic shop editions. Because newsstand copies were distributed to grocery stores and newsstands, where they faced high return rates and rough handling, finding them in high-grade condition is significantly rarer than direct market copies
