Home›Comics-Originated Franchises›CreatorBrowse ByCreatorThis dimension links a media franchise to the person who originated it. Wikipedia credits Star Wars to George Lucas, noting Lucas "later returned to the series to write and direct a prequel trilogy" decades after the original film, even after selling the franchise to Disney in 2012. Browsing by creator gathers every franchise that traces back to the same originating figure.FactsCreatorSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1938 1CreatorFilter Results19 entriesMediumAllComics (17)Newspapers (2)Start YearAll1908 (1)1918 (2)1929 (1)1931 (1)1938 (2)1947 (1)1950 (1)1959 (1)1962 (2)1963 (2)1977 (1)1978 (1)1984 (2)1987 (1)1990 (1)Country of OriginAllBelgium (1)Canada (1)France (1)United States (15)StatusAllConcluded (4)Ongoing (13)CountryAllBelgium (2)Canada (1)France (1)United States (15)Birth YearAll1884 (1)1890 (1)1900 (1)1904 (1)1907 (1)1914 (2)1917 (1)1922 (2)1926 (1)1927 (1)1928 (1)1945 (1)1954 (1)1956 (1)1959 (1)1961 (1)1962 (1)Death YearAll1992 (2)1996 (1)2000 (1)Notable WorkAllCerebus (1)Johan and Peewit (1)The Smurfs (1)RoleAllArtist (15)Executive (2)Game Designer (1)Performer (1)Producer (1)Writer (9)Show ResultsBrowseCompareCharles SchulzCreator1 entryChester GouldCreator1 entryDave SimCreator1 entryFontaine FoxCreator1 entryHergéCreator1 entryJack KirbyCreator2 entriesJerry SiegelCreator1 entryJim DavisCreator1 entryJoe ShusterCreator1 entryKevin EastmanCreator1 entryLowell CunninghamCreator1 entryPaul FrehmCreator1 entryPeter LairdCreator1 entryPeyoCreator1 entryRené GoscinnyCreator1 entryRobert RipleyCreator1 entryStan LeeCreator3 entriesSteve DitkoCreator1 entrySteve PurcellCreator1 entrySources1.
