Star Wars #3 (1977 Marvel Comics) 

This is the 3rd issue in the original printing of the classic movie adaptation of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.  Follow Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Obi-Wan Kenobi as they take on Darth Vader's Empire and his massive new weapon: The Death Star.  Such an epic tale, and this adaptation actually came before the movie!

Fun Fact: Marvel Comics was struggling financially in the late 1970's, and Roy Thomas pitched the Star Wars adaptation to Stan Lee.  Stan felt that it was too risky and was not in favor of more TV or movie adaptations.  Roy made a deal with Stan that made sense financially, and the Star Wars comics actually played a key role in saving Marvel from bankruptcy.  True story.

About me:

I'm selling my lifetime collection of comic books.  I have most DC and Marvel titles published since 1975 and quite a lot prior to that.  I'll be selling many runs and full titles, mini-series, TPBs, variants, ashcans, and other special editions.  Key issues will be sold individually, and will often be CGC graded.  All of my comics have been very well cared for, and most haven't seen light in decades.

My listing prices will be consistent with the market, although I'm happy to consider reasonable offers.
