Classic Star Wars: A Long Time Ago

Dark Horse's Classic Star Wars: A Long Time Ago (1999–present) collects the earliest Marvel Star Wars comics from the late 1970s and early 1980s, reprinting the original ongoing series that bridged the gap between the films. Featuring the foundational work of writers David Michelinie, Jo Duffy, and Walter Simonson, with art by Ron Frenz, Tom Palmer, and the iconic concept designs of Ralph McQuarrie, this 6-issue series preserves the raw, imaginative energy of the franchise's first comic adventures. It matters as a time capsule of how the expanded universe began, offering fans a direct link to the stories that shaped the mythology before the prequels.
