My latest haul of classic SW.
I finally got my hands on some Star Wars Weekly magazines from the UK. I found a really great shop in London called 30th Century Comics, with one of the largest and most well curated collections I’ve ever seen in a comic shop.
Cool haul dude ! I love those UK covers , I saw a whole collection of those issues at the Chicago Comic Con back in 95 and was awestruck by them as I never knew about them until then . Unfortunately , I was flat broke and could not buy them . Would love to have them all just for the extra artwork and back up features ,they would be a great compliment to my full set of the US issues
The big size of them really does makes those covers feel like mini-posters. It was pretty cool seeing a whole box full of them. I was quite tempted to get several more just for the covers.
My current goal is to more-or-less complete my Goodwin/Infantino SW collection by just getting the story-lines exclusive for the UK. They didn’t have all of them however, so I grabbed those two Leia issues as well just for fun so that I could compare them to the US issue. It’s fun to see Infantino’s UK recap pages, as well as how they turned small plot-points in the US comic into cliffhangers in the UK issues.
