The Saga of Crystar, Crystal Warrior is an 11-issue fantasy-based comic book published by American company Marvel Comics in 1983. It was associated with a toy line from Remco, consisting of seven figures, some vehicles and accessories.
Production
The toys were first sold in late 1982; the Marvel Comics series was first published in the spring of 1983.[1] Since the toys were released first, many assumed the comic had been a licensed adaptation of the toyline, but Crystar and all of the characters in the toy line and comic book were created and owned by Marvel Comics, which had created the concept with the express intent of selling the license to a toy company. The concept was the work of writers Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio, and artist John Romita Jr.; the series itself was written by Jo Duffy, with artist Bret Blevins drawing the first two issues, before being replaced as regular penciller by Ricardo Villamonte
