classic Star Wars
Classic Star Wars is a series of various classic Star Wars comics reprinted by Dark Horse Comics between 1992 and 1996. It notably includes compilations of the weekly newspaper Star Wars comic strips written by Archie Goodwin and illustrated by Al Williamson; these were published as 20 single issues between 1992 and 1994 with new cover art by Williamson and others, and collected as three trade paperbacks between 1994 and 1996. While originally achromatic, these comics were colorized for the Dark Horse reprints. The Classic Star Wars banner also includes reprints of Marvel's original adaptations of the original trilogy from the self-titled comic, Russ Manning's comic strip, a reprint of issue #98 of Marvel's Star Wars, and various colorized comics originally printed by Marvel UK's magazine, including many by Alan Moore.
