Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years Volume 1

"With Star Wars poised to return to its comic book home, what better time to revisit the first adventures of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, and, of course, Darth Vader? I am extremely proud to present these original Star Wars stories, told as only Marvel can, in the first in a massive and glorious Omnibus series."

- Axel Alonso, Marvel Comics editor-in-chief

Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years Volume 1 is an omnibus that collects the fourty-four first issues of Marvel Comics' Star Wars comic book series, as well as Star Wars Annual 1: The Long Hunt. It will be released in January 2015.

Publisher's summary
''In 1977 a phenomenon dawned. Marvel Comics published the very first Star Wars comic-book series. Now, the House of Ideas is re-presenting those original adventures in its over-sized Omnibus format &mdash; Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years collecting Star Wars (1977) #1-44 and Annual #1.''

It's the return of the Jedi to Marvel in an opening volume that begins with Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and ends with Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back''. In between, the Rebels face a wealth of new perils &mdash; from space pirate Crimson Jack to the bounty hunter Beilert Valance, as well as a surprisingly svelte Jabba the Hut (one "t"). Luke goes back to Tatooine, Leia battles alone, Han and Chewie play the deadly Big Game, and Darth Vader hunts for answers! Revisit all your old favorites and discover some new ones!''

There's no doubt, the Force is strong with this collection!
