I really need to get into the older EU. Star Wars in its purest form. The original Marvel comics, Newspaper Strips from Manning, and Williamson. Radio plays by Brian Daley. Novels by Daley and Foster.
the pre west end games, pre Zahn, Pre prequels stuff.
I read the Newspaper strips years ago but I remember them having a pulpy adventurous feel that was missing in later works. Those stories really did a lot to make the galaxy feel like a vibrant and exciting place. Plus the art by Al Williamson is splendid.
I’ve been thinking of revisiting them recently, and I may even need to check out the main Marvel run as well!
