Obi-Wan Kenobi

Few characters have made as indelible a mark on comics as Obi-Wan Kenobi, who stepped onto the page in Marvel's landmark Star Wars #1 in 1977 — a Bronze Age debut that arrived alongside one of the most seismic moments in popular culture history. Over nearly five decades of publication, this legendary Jedi Master has proven himself a cornerstone of Marvel's galaxy far, far away, racking up 197 catalog appearances across flagship titles like Star Wars, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Star Wars: Darth Vader, with seven of those issues earning key-issue status among collectors. The company he keeps tells its own epic story — sharing pages with Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, R2-D2, and C-3PO, he sits at the very heart of Star Wars mythology across generations and timelines. Whether you're a lifelong collector or just diving into the comics galaxy, Obi-Wan's extraordinary longevity and narrative weight make him an essential presence on any shelf.
