Back in 1977, Marvel published the very first Star
Wars comic book series. Now Marvel is "re-presenting" those original
issues in an over-sized Omnibus series.
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 — 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!

"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?" says Marvel Editor
In Chief, Axel Alonso. "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."
STAR WARS: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS comes out of lightspeed in January 2015 and is written by Roy Thomas, Howard Chaykin, Archie Goodwin, Jo Duffy & Chris Claremont, with pencils by Howard Chaykin, Carmine Infantino, Walter Simonson, Herb Trimpe, Michael Golden, Al Williamson and Mike Vosburg. Each copy of STAR WARS: THE ORIGINAL MARVEL YEARS will also be wrapped in a glorious covers by Howard Chaykin and Greg Hilderbrandt.
