American Update: The Force Is With Us: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Star Wars #1
*Marvel: Well, here it is, the very first Star Wars comic from 1977. The 1970s Marvel Comics series of Star Wars isn’t commonplace in the UK, many of the issues having been completely non-distributed in Britain, and the rest having only low circulation here in the Old Country. Adapting the beginning of famous first movie courtesy of Roy Thomas and Howard Chaykin, the continuing popularity of the franchise has seen the prices soar on this issue in recent years. This flat, glossy copy of #1 presents well, with firm tight staples, sharp corners and excellent off-white pages. Wear is restricted to a few very short, minor stress marks at the spine, which do not break the black colour background. A lovely 30 cent copy of the first printing.
