Marvel (1977–87)

Charles Lippincott, Lucasfilm's publicity supervisor, initially approached Stan Lee in 1975 about publishing a Star Wars comic book prior to the film's release to appeal to the film's most likely audience. However, Lee declined to consider such a proposal until the film was completed, and was only persuaded otherwise in a second meeting arranged by Roy Thomas, who wanted to edit the series. Considering movie tie-in comics rarely sold well at that time, Lee negotiated a publishing arrangement with no royalties to Lucasfilm until sales exceeded 100,000 at which point legal arrangements could be revisited.[1]

Marvel Comics Group published a series of Star Wars comic books from 1977 to 1986, lasting 107 issues and 3 annuals. According to former Marvel Editor-In-Chief Jim Shooter, the strong sales of Star Wars comics saved Marvel financially in 1977 and 1978.[2] Marvel's Star Wars series was one of the industry's top selling titles in 1979 and 1980.[3] The only downside for Marvel was that the 100,000 copy sales quota was surpassed quickly, allowing Lippincott to renegotiate the royalty arrangements from a position of strength.[4]

Issues #1–6 featured an adaptation by the events of Star Wars by Roy Thomas and artist Howard Chaykin.[5] Original stories began appearing as of issue #7 (Jan. 1978) by the same creative team. Writer Archie Goodwin and artist Carmine Infantino took over the series as of #11 (May 1978).[6] The series occasionally had stories which took place before the events of A New Hope such as issue #17 (Nov. 1978) featuring Luke Skywalker on Tatooine[7] and #24 (June 1979) with Obi-Wan Kenobi.[8] The Empire Strikes Back was adapted by Goodwin and artists Al Williamson and Carlos Garzon in #39–44 (Sept. 1980-Feb. 1981).[9] Williamson was offered the Empire Strikes Back adaptation upon Lucasfilm's specific request, as George Lucas had an appreciation of Williamson's EC Comics and Flash Gordon work.[10] Goodwin cited "the comfort of knowing that I would be working with Al Williamson, an old friend that I've worked with over the years. He was absolutely the best Star Wars artist you could ever want to have. That makes it easier because you feel that whatever you do as a writer, you have an artist that will make it look great. He's also an artist that Lucasfilm kind of begged and pleaded for and always wanted to have do Star Wars material. There was that comfort factor in it as well."[11] The Empire adaptation appeared in three other formats: as a magazine (Marvel Super Special #16),[12] an oversized tabloid edition (Marvel Special Edition Featuring Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back),[13] and as a paperback book.[14]

Following the Empire adaptation, writer David Michelinie and artist Walt Simonson became the new creative team with issue #51 (Sept. 1981).[15] An unused John Carter, Warlord of Mars story, which had sat in inventory after Marvel had cancelled that series, was rewritten and redrawn and published in Star Wars #53 (Nov. 1981).[16] Ron Frenz became the regular artist of the title starting with #71 (May 1983).[17]

Marvel's adaptation Return of the Jedi appeared in an eponymous four-issue limited series[18] as well as in Marvel Super Special #27[19][20] and in a mass market paperback.[21]

After the adaptation of Jedi, the series was primarily written by Jo Duffy. Art for the final year-and-a-half of the series was by Cynthia Martin.[15]

Notable especially for comic book and Star Wars collectors: The issues #1, #2, #3, and #4 printed by Marvel during this time contained special existence of "35 cents" variant covers. Marvel typically tested price increases on a limited basis before rolling out the increase over all their comic titles. In an attempt to conduct market research on pricing elasticity of market, Marvel printed an estimated 1,500 copies of Star Wars #1 with a "35 cents" cover price, and reputedly sold these in four states only, none of which were major markets. Such experimentation continued until issue #4, by then Marvel was comfortable to raise the price, and starting with issue #5, all comic books were sold for 35 cents.

Marvel's Star Wars comics were also reprinted in the UK as a weekly black and white comics anthology by Marvel UK which, in addition to the Star Wars strips, included other Marvel strips such as The Micronauts, Deathlok, Star-Lord, Warlock and Tales of the Watcher. The weekly UK issues split the stories from the US monthly issues into smaller installments, and it usually took around three weekly issues to complete a US monthly issue. The UK comic also published original Star Wars stories by British creators. Star Wars Weekly #1 was published with a free cut-out X-Wing Fighter on 8 February 1978.[22] It became The Empire Strikes Back Weekly from issue #118 in May 1980, and then became a monthly title from issue #140 in November 1980, reverting to the title Star Wars with issue #159 in July 1982. The monthly comic ran until issue #171 in July 1983, when the numbering was reset at #1 for Return of the Jedi Weekly, which was the first time the UK comic had been printed in color.[23][24][25] This is the title and format that remained until the last issue (#155) published in June 1986. Issues #47-#50 and #57-#59 contained material originally published in Pizzazz magazine. Issue #60 was the first original Star Wars story published by Marvel UK. This completed the fourth and final part of "The Kingdom of Ice" story from issues #57-#59, which was not completed in Pizzazz due to the publication's cancellation. Further original content was published in issues #94-#99, #104-#115, #149, #153-#157. Throughout this eight-year period Marvel UK also published several Star Wars annuals and specials.

Dark Horse (1991–2014)

In 1991, Dark Horse started publishing Star Wars comics, initially with mini-series such as Dark Empire,[26] Tales of the Jedi and Crimson Empire.

In 1998, they began publishing Star Wars: Republic an ongoing series until it was replaced by Star Wars: Dark Times in 2006.

In 2002, they began publishing Star Wars: Empire another ongoing series until it was replaced by Star Wars: Rebellion in 2006.

In 2006, they also began publishing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars: Legacy, two new ongoing series.

Artist Jan Duursema was a frequent contributor to the Dark Horse Star Wars series. Her association with the franchise began with Star Wars: Chewbacca #2 (Feb. 2000).[27] She later drew the Star Wars: Darth Maul mini-series in 2000 and the comics adaptation of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones in 2002.[27][28] Duursema and writer John Ostrander collaborated on the Star Wars: Legacy series which was introduced with a #0 issue and ran for 50 issues from June 2006 to August 2010.[27] They launched the Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi series in 2012. Duursema was the basis for the character Ur-Sema Du.[29]

In 2010, Knights of the Old Republic and Legacy ended, and Dark Horse moved to a different style of publishing their Star Wars comic books. Instead of publishing ongoing series, they began publishing "series of mini-series", which is essentially the same strategy as before, with the exception that a series would be published as various mini-series, and if the series was not doing well, Dark Horse could just not have further mini-series. This also allowed Dark Horse to publish a large amount of Star Wars series while not overloading fans' pockets. A list of these series includes:

Dark Horse has also published mini-series adapting Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and The Thrawn Trilogy.

Tokyopop

Main article: Star Wars (manga)

In 1998 to 1999, there was a series of Japanese books adapting the original trilogy and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace as Manga with all the typical narrative and stylistic characteristics of the form.

Return to Marvel (2015–present)

Artist John Cassaday and writer Jason Aaron at a January 2015 signing at Midtown Comics in Manhattan for Star Wars #1, the first Star Wars published by Marvel since 1987

In October 2012, The Walt Disney Company announced that they would acquire Lucasfilm for $4 billion.[30][31] In January 2014, it was announced that in 2015, the Star Wars comics license would return to Marvel Comics,[32] whose parent company, Marvel Entertainment, Disney had purchased in 2009.[33] That May, Marvel revealed that its first two ongoing Star Wars comic series[34][35] would be Star Wars and Star Wars: Darth Vader. That July, the company announced its third Star Wars book would be the limited series, Star Wars: Princess Leia. The initial series, Star Wars, was released in January 2015,[36][37] while the Darth Vader and Princess Leia books were released that February[38][39] and March, respectively.[40][41]

In mid-2014, Marvel stated that it would publish collected volumes of past Star Wars comics, beginning with Volume 1 of Star Wars: The Original Marvel Years in January 2015[42] and Volume 1 of Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire in April 2015, which will reprint Dark Horse's Star Wars comics.[43][44]

In September 2014, Marvel announced that it would launch a series set in different time periods in the Star Wars universe.[45] The following month, the company revealed it would launch the series Star Wars: Kanan in April 2015.[46]
