Out of curiosity: Were there ever any country specific comics anywhere for Star Wars? For example, I know Marvel in the UK had a couple stories in some of their other licenses that didn’t appear in the US comics. Did this happen for star Wars too?
I the UK’s Star Wars Weekly magazine, there was exclusive stories; such as The Day After the Death Star that I mentioned in an earlier post, as well as Way of the Wookiee, The Weapons Master and a rather odd and out-of-place story called World of Fire .
There were also the Alan Moore stories and “Death Masque”
Ah, yes, I forgot about those.
I actually really liked some of these. Death Masque was a pretty clever story, and Dark Lord’s Conscience is a really good example of how cool Darth Vader was before the PT (and even ROTJ to some degree).
Alan Moore’s Tilotny however is one of the weirdest and most non-SW things I’ve ever seen published by either Marvel or Dark Horse.

I ever actually read the newspaper strips so don’t really know what they would have looked like originally…They’re all here in their original format. A must-read archive, perfectly preserved.

Thanks.
I’ll have a look at those.
