Star Comics

Star Comics

Star Comics was an imprint of Marvel Comics that began in 1984 and continued to publish comic books until early 1988. Several titles begun under the Star imprint continued under the Marvel brand. Titles published by the imprint were aimed at younger readers and were often adaptations of children's television animated series or toys.

History

Before the existence of the Star imprint, Marvel had previously released several mini-series based on licensed toy and cartoon properties, such as the Smurfs and the Starriors. Existing ongoing series, based on other licensed toy lines, such as and Transformers, remained under the Marvel banner. Marvel eventually dissolved the Star line but continued to publish licensed properties, such as The Pirates of Dark Water, under the main Marvel banner.

Fabian Nicieza was briefly the line's editor in the early-1990s.
