Chris Gossett
Interviewee and Artist

Internationally published as an artist and writer at the age of nineteen, Christian Gossett was one of the first designers hired by Lucasfilm Licensing to 'retro-design' the Star Wars galaxy in 1993. The Phantom Menace Gossett's work, in the form of Darth Maul's now-famous 'double-edged lightsabre'.

Gossett's design and writing have influenced artists in the videogame industry as well. When Activision announced that Bruce Willis would star in their CD-Rom game Apocalypse for the Sony Playstation, it was Gossett who was called upon to design the main characters and wrote what would be the vital draft of the script, giving Bruce's dialogue its necessary final touches. With Activision's next Playstation title, Pitfall 3D, starring cult-film hero Bruce Campbell, Gossett performed the same duties as he did for Apocalypse, and still found time to write, co-direct and draw nine minutes of additional story animation (hidden within the game and accessible via cheatcode: PITFALLCOMIC)

His latest project, The Red Star, promises to be the culmination of ten years of experience at the forefront of his field. An epic mythology based on the Cold War, The Red Star follows the quest of Marcus Antares as he labors to free his nation from the vile legacy of Imbohl, the sorceror whose insanity turned an entire nation's Utopian dreams into nightmarish tragedy.

Chris Gossett appears in Adventures Into Digital Comics and his work on The Red Star and Strangers is showcased in the film.
