History
Before the existence of the Star imprint, Marvel had previously released several miniseries 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 G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and Transformers, remained under the Marvel banner. Marvel eventually dissolved the Star imprint but absorbed several Star titles under the main Marvel banner such as Care Bears and continued to license new properties, such as The Pirates of Dark Water.
In the early 1990s, Fabian Nicieza briefly served as the line's editor.
Updated versions of Wally the Wizard, Planet Terry, Top Dog and Royal Roy are featured in the X-Babies miniseries published in late 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
