Cynthia Martin

Martin's clean lines and strong sense of movement during action scenes set her apart from other Star Wars artists of the time in addition to being one of the few women working in American comic books.

[2] Her work displayed the influence of Japanese manga long before it became common in American comics.

Martin then began illustrating early-reader "graphic biographies" for Capstone Press.

According to her bio on Silver Phoenix Entertainment Archived 2008-07-20 at the Wayback Machine, Martin's currents projects include books for ABDO Publications and the graphic novel Shadowflight.

On May 1, 2010, she was inducted as an Honorary Member of the 501st Legion international costuming organization in recognition of her contributions to the Star Wars saga.
