Notes

1.
This list contains the novels and graphic novels that I have been able to find that feature Moya, her crewmembers, and other characters from the
Farscape
universe. I have read all of them. I wish there were more. I have included information for the two different sets of DVDs that I purchased for the series. As I mentioned in Appendix B, I discovered that the later collections contain more commentaries on the series' episodes than the earlier ones. However, the earlier ones have some Special Features that the later ones do not, such as information on costuming, creatures, and more.
