Doesn't get enough respect
22. Juni 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
As a kid, Marvel's Star Wars comics were just as important to me as the original movie trilogy. Beginning publication in mid-1977 with a 6-part adaptation of Episode 4: A New Hope, the Star Wars comics provided a much-needed monthly fix for the fanatical devotees of George Lucas' nascent vision. Current license holder Dark Horse Comics is now in their second round of reprinting the classic Marvel series, this time using its affordable digest-sized omnibus format to collect 27-or-so issues per volume. It's a great deal and a much appreciated break for this struggling comic reader.
Anyone demanding stories that fit perfectly with today's Star Wars universe should pass on STAR WARS OMNIBUS: A LONG TIME AGO... VOLUME 1, as Lucas' only plan at the time was that there was no plan, no matter how much he'd like us to believe otherwise. Nevertheless, writers Roy Thomas, Don Glut, Archie Goodwin, and Mary Jo Duffy do an admirable job of adapting and continuing the adventures initiated in ANH. The movie adaptation was put together from an early draft of Lucas' script, so it contains scenes that were deleted from the original theatrical release and offers interesting expansion on certain elements. After that, it's a wild ride that continues to focus on the original group of heroes while bringing in a huge supporting cast of colorful characters. Multi-part stories include an adventure in the vein of Seven Samurai, an excursion to "Doomworld", and the life-or-death stakes of The Wheel. These are broken up with some welcome one-shots that focus on specific characters. Whether they feature a talking humanoid rabbit, delusional Jedi knight, self-loathing cyborg, smart-alecky droids, gaily attired space pirates, aquatic dragons, or even an unintentional precursor to Lando Calrissian, these stories fascinate me. Maybe it's simply due to their making such a huge impression on me as a child, but whatever the reason, I have no problem reconciling these stories with the original trilogy. The Star Wars universe was wide open in the late `70s, and this series simply made it that much more interesting.
As for the art chores, it's a very solid lineup. Howard Chaykin pencils the first 10 issues with inkers of varying quality. After that, the majority of the art is provided by the legendary Carmine Infantino. Infantino had already shifted to a more distinctive style in the '70s that really brought these stories to life, and being inked by the great Terry Austin never hurts. Herb Trimpe fills in for one issue, and Walt Simonson, who would eventually go on to become the regular series artist, provides his initial contribution.
This release encourages me to try some of the Omnibuses that feature Dark Horse's own contributions to the Star Wars legacy, and there are plenty of those to keep me occupied for a while.

A blast from the past...but not much more...

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
WARNING: This Star Wars Omnibus contains twenty-seven of the cheesiest, cringe-inducing-est comic books ever written.
That said, it's an excellent read.
This omnibus, titled "A Long Time Ago...", contains the first twenty-seven issues of Marvel's Star Wars series from the late 1970s, which was rushed into production in '77 in an attempt to capitalize on the film's success. The series was an enormous success for Marvel, and some consider it to have saved the entire company from financial ruin.
The first six issues are an adaptation of the original "Star Wars" film, while subsequent issues are completely original. Even casual Star Wars fans will notice glaring (and generally amusing) inconsistencies with the film series (such as the physical appearance of Jabba the Hutt or the paternity of Luke Skywalker), due to the writer (Archie Goodwin) possessing little or no insider knowledge regarding the future of the franchise.
Stylistically, this series fits in perfectly among its contemporaries at Marvel in the late '70s. The art is colorful, whimsical, and highly detailed. The dialogue is unintentionally campy and awkward. The storytelling is tight, exciting, and a little silly.
In short, this collection is light-hearted, action-packed fun with gorgeous art and a powerful nostalgia factor.
Unfortunately, that's precisely all you get.
Unlike many other comic book collections, there is absolutely zero supplementary material. No foreword, no Letter from the Editor, no primer on the history of the series, no nothing. The progression is abrupt: front cover, Table of Contents, Page One. The same is true of the end of the volume: last page, advertisement for similar omnibuses, back cover.
Given the importance and storied history of this classic series, a collection such as this should contain at least a little something extra; the absence thereof seems almost rude.

Fun fun fun!

When "Star Wars" first came to the theaters, I bought every SW book I could find ... when I had money. So I read some of these comic books when they were new, but not every one of them. And I didn't know to save them, either. Now, it's fun to read all those issues I remember and see what happened in between.
The stories are pretty wacky, especially now that we look back knowing Luke and Leia are siblings and Vader is their father. And who can forget Jax, the 7 foot (8 with the ears) carnivorous bunny or the story line that's just a "Star Wars" retelling of "The Magnificent Seven"?
It also cracks me up that Han and Luke are both built like the Incredible Hulk (but then, this was a Marvel product). Sure, there are things one could pick at, but over all these are just FUN! And, of course, they are printed on slick paper with the latest printing techniques and look worlds better than they did 30 years years ago.
One thing that surprises me, though, is how many misspelled and missing words there are in the dialogue boxes. If I were the editor, I wouldn't want my name printed so prominently at the front!
