Star Lord's father: I made my own body

Drax, 2017
I'm old enough to have read an enjoyed these old comics mentioned. Great storyline for the time. Haven't read new comics in years. I do recall the 1970s origins of Star Lord, Drax, Gamora and Rocket long before they were a team. This article does not mention Steve Engelhart was the writer who created Marvel's first Vietnamese and Asian super woman. You younger fans ever heard of him or Jim Starlin?
I see the movie last night.
She' was so adorable
