Krieg der Sterne

Before the films created a global phenomenon, this 1978 German comic series—published by BSV - Williams—offered an early glimpse into a galaxy far, far away. Scripted by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Howard Chaykin and Frank Springer, the three-issue Krieg der Sterne adapted the original movie with a distinct European flair, capturing the excitement of the space opera for a new audience. While brief, it stands as a fascinating artifact of the franchise's international expansion, showcasing the talents that would help define the look of early Star Wars comics.
