Jedi Journals Comics
NEW IN THE PHOTO ARCHIVE:
This oversized comic reprints Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back from the monthly comic #39-44 in its entirety. It removes any credits but keeps the chapter titles intact.
This issue is listed as a Spring 1980 issue, which would put it between mid-March and mid-Jun. We can assume that this issue was published around the time of the film release (May 21, 1980) and after the Marvel Comics Illustrated version of The Empire Strikes Back, as the images of Yoda have been altered to more closely reflect his appearance in the film.
The inside front cover is a black & white pin-up of the Star Warriors by Williamson (the same as the splash page in Marvel Comics Illustrated Version of The Empire Strikes Back but flopped right to left). The first page is the credits page, including film credits. These are followed by a full page pin-up of Luke (from page 80) and a reproduction of Star Wars #39 without any cover text.
