We had Star Wars Weekly so the film adaptation was 12 issues in marvelous monochrome and most stories when on for about that length.

Still wish I had the X-Wing and TIE Fighter that came with issues 1 and 2. Issue #3 has the two page picture drawing of the Death Star surface that you could do battle over. I upgraded to colour when the two large size Marvel Treasury Editions came out at 50p each. The UK Star Wars annual #1 had the Marvel adaptation in B/W and colour but cut pages from the story.
