Steve Purcell
Steve Purcell is an artist who was employed at LucasArts during the 1990s. Video footage of Purcell was superimposed over existing footage from Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back to create the commander of Gamma Base in the 1993 LucasArts video game Star Wars: Rebel Assault.[1]

Purcell is most widely known as the creator of the Sam & Max comic book series. Max made cameo appearances in several Star Wars video games during Purcell's time with LucasArts. The game company's magazine, The Adventurer, featured a Sam & Max: Freelance Police comic in every issue.
Purcell is the husband of former LucasArts and Lucas Learning artist and game designer Collette Michaud, whose likeness was the basis of Ru Murleen in Star Wars: Rebel Assault.[2]
