So many errors...
The faces I just made reading that. And I don't usually react that way. Ouch.

SilverWook sent me the hard copy of the ABC cut of TWOK. I have it seeding at MySpleen. Read more about it here. Thanks again, Wook :)
MySpleen? Why does that sound familiar?

Imagination PrincessHmm. Don't think the art is that bad, but McCoy saying "it's" instead of "its" and referring to "Admiral" Kirk as "Captain" seems pretty lazy.
There is no lingerie in space...

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming... Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Marvel did a better job adapting Star Wars without the luxury of being able to see the movie, what excuse do these guys have? ;)

Ce n'est pas DuracellEnergizerComic book adaptations are almost aways weak. With the sole exception of the Army of Darkness adaptation, I can't think of a single one that didn't have lacklustre art and/or a lack of dynamism and/or glaring omissions.
God doesn't think in terms of black or white - or even shades of gray - but in big, bright, bold hues of blue and orange.

Marvel even picked up on GL's vaunted original intent that everybody's lightsabers should have red blades! That's going above and beyond the call of duty! ;)

Most of the Marvel ones I recall reading as a kid were pretty good. Star Wars was just another movie license for them at the time. Can't recall DC doing any in the 70's though.
In the old days, they were almost always done without benefit of seeing the finished film, so that they reached newsstands close to the release date. I have no idea what the lead time is like now.
TMP had an almost Phantom Menace level of merchandising, which didn't sell well, and there was very little TWOK stuff as a result. That might explain why there wasn't a comic adaptation in '82.
When movies are now in our grubby little hands mere months after release, I'm not sure comic versions have the same impact they once did.
