SIX AGAINST THE GALAXY! – THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES!
Following the dramatic opening chapter of Marvel's original Star Wars adaptation, Luke Skywalker's extraordinary adventure continues as he becomes entangled in the struggle between the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire.
After encountering the mysterious droids C-3PO and R2-D2, Luke discovers that a beautiful princess needs help and that the sinister Empire is pursuing plans of extraordinary destructive power.
With Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi guiding him, Luke travels to the notorious Mos Eisley spaceport, where he encounters the resourceful smuggler Han Solo and his towering Wookiee companion, Chewbacca.
Together, this unlikely group prepares to challenge the power of the Empire and rescue Princess Leia from the clutches of Darth Vader.
AN IMPORTANT EARLY MARVEL STAR WARS KEY ISSUE!
Star Wars #2 is especially interesting to collectors because it contains early comic-book appearances of several beloved characters, including Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The original 1977 Marvel Comics adaptation helped introduce the Star Wars universe to comic book readers during the franchise's earliest period of worldwide popularity.
Unlike modern Star Wars comic books released decades after the original film, this issue comes directly from the era of the first theatrical release.
ROY THOMAS & HOWARD CHAYKIN – CLASSIC MARVEL STAR WARS CREATORS!
Marvel veteran Roy Thomas adapted George Lucas's groundbreaking space fantasy for comic book audiences, while artist Howard Chaykin brought the characters, spacecraft, and alien worlds to life through distinctive Bronze Age comic book illustration.
