Description

This is about all an old Marvel-Star-Wars-fan-on-a-budget can afford - an only-slightly-less-sought-after 'Star Wars Weekly' page. The handwritten note in the corner suggests it was from 'Star Wars Weekly' 107, but it was actually issue 108.

See how it's marked 'Inventory?' As I've noted on other pages in this gallery, Marvel UK required additional Star Wars stories to make up the extra slots in their weekly-rather-than-monthly publishing schedule. This story is from the noted 'World of Fire' 9-part weekly story, first reprinted in the U.S.A. as a digest edition. (I still have mine, was a surprise find way back in the day.)

Howard Bender is credited as 'TONIST' which I presume is the person who preps a stat of the original art with 'Zipatone'� for publishing in a B&W book.

Infantino's 'distinctive' take on Imperial warships is on perfect display on this example. Love the funky Star Destroyer, with its seven in-line engines. A keeper!
