Star Wars: The Classic Newspaper Comics Vol. 1 (Star Wars Newspaper Comics)

Star Wars: The Classic Newspaper Comics Vol. 1 (Star Wars Newspaper Comics)

The first of three volumes collecting the originalÂ Star Wars newspaper strip from 1979 through 1984. Includes every Sundayâ€™s title header andÂ â€œbonusâ€ panels, meticulously restored in original color, making this the first-ever complete collection of this comics classic.

When the strip launched, Russ Manning accurately predicted that â€œPeople today canâ€™t get enough science fiction, especially if it is original and full of creative adventure. The Star Wars characters are like Mickey Mouse. They will be loved forever.â€ Initially the color Sundays and black-and-white dailies told separate stories, but within six months the incomparable Russ Manning and company merged the adventures to tell brand new, epic seven-days-a-week sagas that rivaled the best science fiction comics of all time.

Volume One contains nearly 600 sequential comics from the stripâ€™s premiere on March 11, 1979 to October 5, 1980.

Nominated for a 2018 Eisner Award for Best Archival Collection/Project - Strips.
