"At last! Beyond the movie! Beyond the galaxy!"
In 1977, those words atop the cover of issue 7 of Marvel Comics' Star Wars series announced the beginning of what has become known as the Expanded Universe. Over the next nine years, Marvel produced scores of tales, which explored a galaxy only glimpsed in the movies. Despite these comics' infamous reputation, there are indeed many thrilling and exciting stories worthy of the Star Wars name to be found under the Marvel banner.
This web page is a tribute to both Marvel's Star Wars series and West End Games' Star Wars Roleplaying Game. On these pages you'll find RPG stats for some of the people, places and things featured in Marvel's series. In addition, I've included other goodies designed for my own Star Wars game and a brief introduction to a few of the characters who populate the campaign.
I've designed these pages to be a showcase for my artwork, and I hope you'll take a moment to check out the original illustrations that I created for each entry.
I would also like to extend a hearty "Yub! Nub!" to the contributors who have kindly written entries for these pages: Jeff Boivin, Kevin Dole, Gavin Downing and RB Harris.
The page was brought to life on December 5, 1996
and celebrated its 15th birthday on December 5, 2011!
