Marvel Age #10

This January 1984 issue of Marvel's official news magazine devotes its cover to a vivid preview of what's coming up in Star Wars, with Luke Skywalker front and center, lightsaber raised, surrounded by a cast of familiar faces — Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO, and an array of aliens both menacing and whimsical. Cover pencils by Ron Frenz and inks by Jack Abel give the ensemble a lively, dynamic energy that makes it clear Marvel's Star Wars line had plenty in store for readers. At just 25 cents, this issue of Marvel Age offered fans an enthusiastic inside look at the publisher's ongoing galaxy far, far away.
