In 1984, Marvel Comics created a spinoff line of all-ages kid-targeted comics called STAR COMICS! Overseen by Tom DeFalco and Sid Jacobson, the Star Comics line lasted through 1988 and introduced the comic reading world to the original characters Misty, Planet Terry, Royal Roy, Top Dog, Wally The Wizard, and [most famously] Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham! -- along with comics based on licensed IPs from cartoons and toy lines, including [deep breath...] Air Raiders, Animax, Care Bears, Chuck Norris' Karate Kommandos, Defenders of the Earth, Droids, Ewoks, Flintstone Kids, Foofur, Fraggle Rock, The Get-Along Gang, Heathcliff, Hugga Bunch, Inhumanoids, Madballs, Masters of the Universe, Muppet Babies, Popples, Rocky & Bullwinkle, SilverHawks, Strawberry Shortcake, ThunderCats, and Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light!
