Overview

A long time ago, in a decade that was far, far out there, moviedom's most beloved characters made the transition from silver screen to printed page in a comic-book series that was truly out of this world. Each new issue of Marvel's Star Wars comic-book series that launched in 1977 was stranger and crazier than the next. Where else could you find the friendship between Luke Skywalker and C-3PO turning the heart of Valance, a ruthless, cyborg bounty hunter? Or a team of vengeful imperial brothers, led by Baron Orman Tagge, who seek to bring the frozen fury of their Omega Frost to Tatooine and the Rebel Alliance fleet? Or an early version of Jabba the Hutt as a humanoid seal instead of a drooling space slug? Now, for the first time ever, the entire Marvel Star Wars comic-book series is collected in book format, bringing these hard-to-find gems from dusty collectors' boxes to your home library. Whether you're a tried-and-true Star Wars fan, a lover of pop culture, or a collector of kitsch, each stand-alone book in this seven-volume collection will amaze, amuse, and delight.
