Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago.... Volume 1 is a collected edition in trade paperback format, part of the Star Wars Omnibus series. This volume encompasses the initial twenty-seven issues of the Marvel Star Wars comic book series.
This initial volume of Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago... compiles the very first twenty-six [sic] issues of the Star Wars comic book series by Marvel Comics that debuted in 1977 (coinciding with the release of the original Star Wars film), and it is an essential addition to any Star Wars enthusiast's collection!
Future volumes are planned to include previously uncollected content alongside the main Marvel series, such as the comic adaptation of Return of the Jedi, content originating from Marvel UK, the Droids and Ewoks comic series, in addition to other scarce Star Wars comic book stories.
In a galaxy far, far away, a long time ago....
Those iconic words ushered the world into an incredible saga that persists even now across television, novels, video games, and also comic books.
The Marvel Comics Group produced monthly comic books inspired by the immensely popular Star Wars movie franchise from July of 1977 until September of 1986.
Looking back on these early stories today, certain "errors" become apparent, such as the notion that Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker's father were two separate individuals. However, it's important to remember that during that time, the Star Wars galaxy was largely unexplored. Despite ongoing debates about how, where, or even whether these stories align with official Star Wars canon, their inherent charm and entertainment value are undeniable.
This collection presents the first twenty-seven issues of the Marvel Comics Star Wars series, which premiered in 1977—the same year as the premiere of the first film, beginning with the comic book adaptation of A New Hope.
