Description

A beloved Sci-Fi franchise turns up in glorious comic book form, with this 1977-1985 Marvel Comics Star Wars partial run (73/110). When master storyteller George Lucas first took us back long ago, to a galaxy far, far away in 1977, movie audiences were enthralled by the adventures of Luke Skywalker and company, Devoted fans were hooked by the very first Jedi mind trick employed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and many years later, new generations eagerly await the next chapter in this classic space saga.

Set in the vast Galactic Republic, Star Wars is a richly imagined realm under the influence of a mysterious mythology, that sees adherents of the Light and Dark Sides engaged in a never-ending battle to bring balance to the omnipresent Force.
