STAR WARS COMIC PANELS

Splash page from issue one.

This blog has a panel from each issue of the comics published by Marvel from 1977 to 1986 (with a brief foray into 1990).

The list on the right includes every creative individual credited in the series and the years the issues were published, so can serve as a searchable index.

As this was put together in publishing order, now that it's complete, the blog appears to start at the end of the series and work backwards. Go here to start at the beginning.

Hope you've enjoyed my weekly postings if you've been following along. I'll leave the blog up for anyone who wishes to use it for fun or research purposes in the future.

May the Force Be With You!

MARVEL AGE PREVIEW #1 - June 1990


Issue 107 was the final Marvel Star Wars comic, but it nearly started up again. Marvel Age previewed a forthcoming new three issue series, which caused much excitement in this fan at the time.

When the comics were released a year later, they were under the banner of Dark Horse Comics. I don't believe that company ever utilised this promo picture, so the Marvel publication is the only time it appeared.
