Long Time Ago - Marvel Star Wars Legends Comics Series > The Empire Strikes Back - Building an Empire: Marvel Style

Welcome to Long Time Ago, a journey into the Marvel Star Wars Legends Comics. Our host Angus first made the jump to hyperspace and a galaxy far far away by reading Marvel Star Wars Vol 1 Issue #9 and never looked back! Travel back to 1977 into the origins of the series and discover how comics has supported fandom and in some ways shaped the Star Wars universe. This fifty-eighth episode reviews a five page article, "Building an Empire: Marvel Style" by Archie Goodwin which was contained in Issue #41. Angus also touches on a cover gallery to the British variants of Star Wars #39–44 which is contained in Issue #42.
