"Official collectors Edition"/'Star Wars Album'

[milesbooy]

I have a magazine-format publication from 1977 called STAR WARS OFFICIAL COLLECTORS EDITION. It was published in the UK by Marvel.

Is this the same publication as was published in the US by Ballantine under the title THE STAR WARS ALBUM? This publication seems - so far as I can tell from photos on ebay - to have the same content, save perhaps for the back cover (an advert on my UK edition). What exactly are the differences between the two publications?

Thanks to anyone who can help here.

Both publications are pretty much identical. "The Star Wars Album" was simply the American edition.

Its a nice item to add to the collection though.

Do you know what the exact diffrences are? The ad on the back, presumably?
