*Marvel: The popular Marvel series of Star Wars, which had been ticking along nicely with original stories, suddenly upped its game with issues #39 to #44, which presented for the first time a graphic adaptation of the second movie, ‘The Empire Strikes Back’. Contrary to the habit of movie adaptations (banged-out cash-cows), this was a quality piece of work by scripter Archie Goodwin, with truly stunning visuals by Al Williamson. In addition, issue #42 featured the first appearance of mercenary Boba Fett, who became a bit of a cult character. All six issues are new in stock: #39 NM £30, #40 VF/NM £20, #41 NM £30, #42 FN/VF £45 (pictured), #43 NM- £15, and #44 NM £30. SORRY, #42 HAS NOW SOLD
