The SE comic was a whole new 1990s adaptation from scratch. It was okay, but the balance was weird since they made close to an entire issue out of the "here they come" sequence IIRC.

The Marvel series was great though, and along with Splinter of the Minds Eye was really the only thing that built upon the universe of Star Wars, rather than the trilogy. As soon as Empire came out, the story changed very radically and it just wasn't quite the same. But those first few years, where there was no additional films or other media to offer constraints, showed the potential directions of Lucas film.
