==History==
In 1984, [[Marvel Comics]] introduced [[w:Star Comics|'''Star Comics''']], an imprint aimed at younger children, in order to fill a gap in the market left by defunct publishers and gain a bigger market share by targeting kids of all ages. Star Comics produced a handful of original titles, taking influence from the [[w:Harvey Comics|Harvey Comics]] style (in some casessometimes a ''very'' heavy influence, as in the case of [[w:Richie Rich (character)|Richie Rich]] and [[w:Royal Roy|Royal Roy]]). Star's bread and butter was licensed titles, producing over four times as many licensed series as their original material. Relevant to us, titles included ''[[ThunderCats]]'', ''[[Inhumanoids]]'', and ''[[Visionaries]]''. The Star Comics imprint was scrapped in 1988, with any surviving series continuing under the Marvel name itself. The longest lasting title was {{Marvel|Heathcliff_Vol_1|''Heathcliff'',}} which ran for 56 issues, 34 of which were published after Star's demise.
 
One of Star Comics' original titles was '''''Planet Terry'''''. It told the story of a young space traveller, also named [[Planet Terry]], who was searching the universe after being separated from his parents at birth. On his journeys, being ping-ponged through ridiculous situations in the far corners of the universe, Terry gained something of a found family in the form of resourceful gynoid [[Robota]] and fearsome Fearzum [[Omnus]]. In some small way, each adventure took him one step closer to an understanding of his past, but the series concluded after twelve issues with no parental reunion.
