Summary

A long time ago in a comics industry far, far away, the biggest comics publisher in the galaxy was saved from financial ruin by an unlikely hero: a scrappy little series based on a surprise blockbuster film called STAR WARS. Now, as Star Wars mania seizes the world anew, one-man Jedi holocron Chris Eberle and the other CGS Geeks revisit that series, the first Star Wars comics ever produced. Thrill to the surprising true story of how the original Marvel Star Wars comic of the '70s and '80s found its way to print, then stay tuned for a few select highlights from the comic itself.
