So you think you have all of the U.K comics...

Just to confirm, my book (tentatively) titled "Star Wars: Made in Britain" is due soon on Kindle and hopefully physical copies at some point. I'm sending out preview versions right now.

If a physical copy becomes available I'd be interested. I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to personal reading preferences.

This is great Craig! I know very little about Star Wars comics and comic strips, I've literally just discovered them and started to get interested in them. I recently bought a SW no.12 and an ESB no.129 just because I liked the covers, I'm going to frame them. I might start collecting a few more. I just love the artwork and the colour on them, they look so cool and retro. Would like to learn more, will keep an eye on this and maybe pick your brains at the next pub night!

No 12 of Star Wars Weekly is a classic. The cover takes huge liberties with the story, which was the style of the early comics. Issue 129 is one of the better covers from during the run of the adaptation of The Empire Strikes Back, featuring Al Williamson art rather than Carmine Infantino.

I'm always happy to talk about the Star Wars comics – especially after a couple of beers. At the next pub night I can bring along my scrapbook of all of the British Goodwin/Williamson comic strips and the giant three volume compendium.

Collecting the U.K comics is hugely rewarding and if you decide to collect more of them you won't regret it.

I found a gallery of the covers:

This is for the first 117 issues only, but there's links to other pages featuring the retitled comics.

That's a good website. I've not done a great deal of searching for reference material because I have all the information that I need already.

I once made a list of all of the comic stories that I considered to be part of the storyline and those which did not fit in. As long as the reader is willing to be selective, there's a very good story arc to be found between and after the events of the films.

Great collection, those coloured strips look great. If there was a collection of them, I'd buy it in a heartbeat
