While variations happen with any comic, there are several variations in the Marvel Comics Star Wars series that are worth noting. The first and most infamous took place on the very first issue, at a time when Marvel was changing their cover prices from 30¢ to 35¢. While the 30¢ cover version is quite valuable, the rarer 35¢ version is worth over ten times the amount in most price guides.

To make it even more confusing, the first issue was reprinted with both prices on the cover. The 35¢ reprint cover is shown below, which is easily identifiable due to the lack of a UPC code.

Speaking of the UPC code, astute observers will notice that some issues in the gallery do not have them, but instead have an image of Spider-Man. This simply means the issue was purchased in a comic book specialty store, rather than a newsstand. The number box is also different on each version. However, there is no difference in the value between the two.
