April to October 1977. Although the first issue of the Marvel STAR WARS comic has a cover date of July 1977, it appeared on newsstands in early April, about a month before the film debuted, and Lucasfilm first approached Marvel about a comics adaptation before the movie had even started shooting. Lucas was plainly a comics reader — as writer/editor Roy Thomas explains in a text page in the first issue, Lucas had even read Marvel's short-lived UNKNOWN WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION magazine — and for all Lucas's talk of Joseph Campbell mythological archetypes, the movies contain some probably non-coincidental similarities to the work of Jack Kirby, both from Marvel and DC. Lucas requested Thomas, whom he'd previously met, to write the comic, and also apparently asked for artist Carmine Infantino, who would later pencil the ongoing series, albeit not until after the adaptation of the movie was complete. The first 10 issues of the series were drawn by Howard Chaykin, who'd previously done some similar space-opera adventures, including his original "Ironwolf" strip in DC's WEIRD WORLDS in 1974–1975.

Thomas says in the text page that spreading the adaptation over six issues was his idea. That was generous for a movie adaptation (a few years later, Marvel adapted a variety of feature films, including BLADE RUNNER, in just two issues apiece), and was a fairly risky commercial move, but it paid off handsomely — I'm reasonably sure that this adaptation was by a healthy margin the most successful book Marvel published in the 1970s, going through multiple printings and being repackaged in an assortment of different ways. Unfortunately, this was before Marvel implemented its "incentive" (royalty) program for writers and artists, so it wasn't the windfall for Thomas and Chaykin that it would've been a few years later.

The adaptation isn't Chaykin's best work, although the addition of Steve Leialoha as inker on issues #2 through #6 tightens up the likenesses and gives the line art a greater feeling of solidity. Since the comic was done before the movie was completed, there are some discrepancies, and the adaptation includes several scenes that were dropped from the film, including Luke running to tell his friends about witnessing the battle between Leia and Vader's ships (which Luke has seen through his macrobinoculars) and encountering Biggs. The second issue also includes Han's confrontation with Jabba the Hutt (initially spelled "Hut"), later added in the SW Special Edition. Since Thomas and Chaykin had no idea what Jabba was supposed to look like except that he was an alien, this is what they came up with:

This version of Jabba reappeared twice in later issues of the series (#28 and #37, both penciled by Infantino). When Jabba's appearance was finally canonized in RETURN OF THE JEDI, Marvel made no attempt to explain the difference, which was really just as well. (If you dig around the Wookieepedia wiki, you'll find a rationalization for it that is absolutely NOT reflected in the original comics.)

Thomas and Chaykin also did the earliest post-movie stories, both in the STAR WARS title and serialized in Marvel's PIZZAZZ magazine, although these were not particularly distinguished and are really of interest only as curiosities. Thomas departed before either storyline was completed, with the comic book story wrapped up by Chaykin and Donald Glut and the PIZZAZZ serial continued by Tony DeZuñiga and Archie Goodwin. Goodwin would subsequently become the principal writer of the SW comic book until after THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and of the newspaper strip until 1984.

IF-120 landing craft were a type of transport utilized by the Empire. Based on the design of Lambda and Sentinel-class shuttles, IF-120s were larger and bulkier than their cousins. The landing craft, after being unloaded, could be converted into a mobile command center. Often, IF-120s were intended to stand alone with advance troops as the Empire established a foothold on a planet.

Thinking about the part of the Darth Vader comics where Anakin has a near death hallucination of fighting Obi-Wan, and he tells Obi-Wan that if he had loved him, he would have killed him.

Some more highlights of the Archie Goodwin/Carmine Infantino STAR WARS comics from the period between the first two movies.

Issue #28. Han can't resist being snotty even to someone who's been actively trying to kill him for days:

Issue #29. The bounty hunter Valance finds that Darth Vader is no easy opponent:

Issue #30. Leia on her own, infiltrating an Imperial installation:

Issue #33. Baron Orman Tagge (elder brother of the officer who complains to Vader in the movie about the dangers of the Rebels having the plans to the Death Star) has been practicing for years with the lightsaber in hopes of avenging himself on Vader. Luke demonstrates that it won't be quite so easy:

Issue #34. Even months before THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, Leia does clearly like scoundrels at least a little:

Issue #35. Dark Horse later dragged out Vader's efforts to discover the identity of the pilot who destroyed the Death Star in a disappointing and mediocre four-issue miniseries (VADER'S QUEST). Goodwin and Infantino handle it in a splash page:

Issue #36. Han Solo offers some important life advice:

Vader corrupts Orman Tagge's sister Domina, whom Orman has unsuccessfully attempted to keep out of the family's political intrigues by making her a priestess of a monastic order. (Domina Tagge has recently reappeared in the DOCTOR APHRA series, where she has the same outfit, but not the same background or motivations — she's now just a SW version of Lena Luthor from SUPERGIRL.)

Han can't ever leave well enough alone:

Issue #37. Orman Tagge belatedly realizes how out of his depth he's always been in his rivalry with Darth Vader:

Pursuit-class light cruisers were midsize Kuati ships used by the Empire. Resembling their larger Star Destroyer cousins, Pursuit cruisers were armed with multiple turrets for large firing arcs, and carried two TIE fighter squadrons.
