Classic Star Wars

In the early '90s, Dark Horse Comics launched Classic Star Wars to reprint the original newspaper comic strips, presenting them in full color for the first time. Running 20 issues from 1992 to 1994, the series collected the beloved adventures scripted by Archie Goodwin and illustrated by Al Williamson, capturing the spirit of the original trilogy between the films. It was a vital bridge for fans hungry for new Star Wars stories before the prequels, preserving a key piece of the franchise's expanded universe.
