Description

I've had this for a while, and I finally made a scan when it was published in the new Star Wars Comics book from Lucasfilm. Regardless, this cover represents one of my earliest Star Wars memories, and as a piece of comic art, it is one of the favorites in my collection.

I wonder if George Lucas tried to buy it, since I think that he collects artwork from the adaptations of his movies. I couldn't avoid to notice that there were some changes in the published cover: http://tinyurl.com/dxk2svz Posted on 12/5/2011

Gosh, I also remember running to the shops for my SW Weekly 1 and assembling my "X-Fighter". Altho I was perplexed that Luke didn't look like Mark Hamill. What a blast from the past.
