COMMENTS
Magazine sized adaptation of Return of the Jedi.

This issue is listed as a Spring 1983 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 25, 1983). Where it falls in the publication of the mini-series, and the Marvel Comics Illustrated version is a mystery.

The back cover features artwork from Star Wars #39.

This version is notable for it's watercolor style coloring, which was not able to be reproduced in the Marvel Comics Illustrated edition or in the monthly series.
