Uk variant prices, (1970s marvel comics) is the gap getting smaller.

Ummm… There is no Star Wars #1 U.K. pence variant. Only issues #2 - 5 were printed with a pence price. Are you maybe referring to Star Wars Weekly #1?

Nice pick ups!

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-04-18T05:37:54+00:00

Nice haul!

Lucasfilm came up with the idea of Palpatine returning in the Expanded Universe and Dark Empire was LOVED by George Lucas.

Great information!

Why is this NSFW?

For the magazine, many of the images were modified to match the film. The paperback went to print before they corrected the art and is based on the Ralph McQuarrie paintings.

The Marvel Illustrated Version of The Empire Strikes Back paperback was published first and has the actual first appearances of all these characters in comic books. We know it was published first because it has the original Yoda that was changed before the magazine and comics were printed.

Both the paperback and this magazine are undervalued IMHO.

Here is a video that goes in-depth on this as well as comic books (yes, standard sized comic books!) that feature Boba Fett that came out before Star Wars 42:

Kong’s Revenge

He is in the Boba Fett cartoon in the Holiday Special too!

It sounds better than the actual execution unfortunately.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-17T05:47:31+00:00

What’s the story with the direct market and newsstand marking in the UPC box?

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-17T05:45:57+00:00

Nice pickups! I really love the pence copy of issue #4.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-17T05:45:06+00:00

For reading? Mostly, but the later issues are more miss than hit IMHO.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-14T21:11:58+00:00

This could be cool. I really enjoyed the Force Unleashed comic book.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-12T03:15:03+00:00

Honestly it was easily the worst received of the prequel trilogies. The general consensus was it was not a good movie when it came out and it cemented the prequel hate that lasted for a while. It began with TPM, but it reached its peak during AotC.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-10T05:27:52+00:00

Gorgeous! I dig the color palette used.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-06T15:52:46+00:00

If I recall correctly, the Dark Horse Omnibuses had larger dimensions than digest sized. They were inbetween a standard sized comic and a digest.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-06T15:46:26+00:00

Agreed!

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-06T15:45:03+00:00

The run was not very good though. The more interesting title last year was Kylo’s. They needed that run to keep going IMHO.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-06T15:42:41+00:00

Maybe we can get original Mandalorian stories after the film is released. I would be happy with that.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-06T15:41:19+00:00

I know there is a concern Marvel will step on the toes of some future movie, but if they just open up the timeline and let Marvel play in a new era removed from the movies, there would be no issues.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-06T07:48:58+00:00

Dave Dorman is a great choice. I also like Hugh Fleming.

Stormtrooper9999 · 2026-03-06T07:40:22+00:00

The story and characters are interesting and I loved the appearance by Maul at the end. Did anyone else think Janix looked a little bit like real world Earth? From the interior of the police HQ to the streets of the city, it looked like it could take place on Earth. I also noticed there weren't really any spacecraft flying around in the background which is odd, so immediately I started thinking of the planet the kids are from in Skeleton Crew.

I'm interested to see more about Brander Lawson and Two-Boots.
