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!
