The only downside of the reprints and omnibus is you don't get all the ad pages of the era. The ad with Vader and the droids wearing SW tees was among my favorites.

You also don't get the page of letters sent in by readers each month. Some fans really freaked out over Han's apparent death in one memorable issue.

A few years back, there was a fan created webcomic called "Jaxxon's 11" which spoofed a certain caper movie, and brought back almost every character who first appeared in the Marvel book.
